Psycho-oncologist Rebeca Salandra calls for support from the moment of breast cancer diagnosis until the end of the process

Psycho-oncologist Rebeca Salandra has emphasized the necessity of continuous psychological support for breast cancer patients starting from the initial diagnosis through the conclusion of the treatment process. Salandra noted that while receiving a breast cancer diagnosis causes a profound emotional impact, this reaction does not automatically equate to a formal psychological disorder, yet it still demands early and sustained professional intervention.

In a separate medical development concerning cancer reporting, the Vatican press office announced that Pope Leo XIV does not require any further treatment. Definitive histological examinations confirmed that a successful surgery to excise a lung cancer was fully effective, ruling out the need for additional medical procedures.
