The session was led by specialized oncology nurses Joana Araújo and Isabel Aragoa from CUF Health Group, who shared practical guidance on breast cancer risk factors, early warning signs, and preventive care.
Participants also received hands-on guidance on how to correctly perform breast self-examinations and recognize potential symptoms.
