Having two official guidelines for the treatment of cervical and breast cancer in Paraguay is an achievement for the whole country and for C/Can. The implementation of these guidelines will have a huge impact and mean better results for patients.

The signing of the Memorandum of Understanding is a clear demonstration of the commitment of the different stakeholders to continue working to improve the quality of the response to cancer and thus to guarantee the recovery of potentially lost years of life and the quality of life of Colombians.
