]]> We all know the sooner a cancer is detected, the higher chance of low-invasive and successful treatment and better life quality. Therefore, we developed a new campaign taking a radically different approach to detecting cancer early for patients, when it is easier to treat called “Power to U”! We want to tackle your fears of developing cancer head-on and help give you the tools to do self-examinations.

We are part of the newly established FACC – Fanconi Anemia Cancer Consortium – initiated by FARF. You will get to know at this year’s meeting all aspects of this consortium and will have the opportunity to meet the people behind the scene. Our part in the FACC is focusing on early detection by providing all different kinds of support (including clinicians and individuals with FA). To achieve this goal, together with FA adults in different countries, we developed a unique special self-empowering training program.

Presented at the 2022 Retreat for Adults with FA in Austin, Texas.

Todos sabemos que cuanto antes se detecte un cáncer, mayores serán las posibilidades de un tratamiento poco invasivo y exitoso y una mejor calidad de vida. ¡Por lo tanto, desarrollamos una nueva campaña con un enfoque radicalmente diferente para detectar el cáncer temprano para los pacientes, cuando es más fácil de tratar, llamada “Poder para ti”! Queremos abordar de frente sus temores de desarrollar cáncer y brindarle las herramientas para realizar autoexámenes. Desarrollamos un programa especial único de capacitación para el autoempoderamiento. Lo invitamos a aprender y capacitarse en solo una hora: · Cómo realizar un autoexamen bucal completo · Qué es una buena documentación y qué tan fácil puede hacerlo · Qué tipo de cambios se encuentran en las cavidades bucales de las personas con FA · ¿Qué hacer y dónde obtener ayuda si ve cambios? ¿Listo para ser parte de esta nueva campaña por más “Poder para ti”? ¡Vamos!

Presentado en el Retiro 2022 para Adultos con AF en Austin, Texas.
