Julio De la Torre collaborates in the "Plan Individualizado de seguimiento de larga supervivencia en cáncer de mama" of the Ministry of Health.

The Ministry of Health has published the "Individualised Follow-up Plan for Long Survival in Breast Cancer", a tool that aims to improve the quality of life of patients who have overcome the disease, helping them to reincorporate into their social, family and work life in the best possible way.

The director of the University School of Nursing and Physiotherapy San Juan de Dios - Comillas (EUEF), Julio de la Torre, has formed part of the technical committee of this report as a representative of the Spanish Oncological Nursing Society (SEEO). Scientific societies, patient associations, ministries and autonomous communities have also participated.

Patient accompaniment

This document establishes a personalised follow-up for patients with the aim of detecting relapses, new tumours, controlling and minimising physical, psychological and social sequelae, promoting reincorporation into routine and encouraging healthy habits.

The plan is divided into three main blocks: current situation with the treatments that have been administered, next steps (consultations, tests...) and general or specific recommendations. It also includes a glossary of terms to make it easier to understand.

Although breast cancer mortality has been declining in recent years, it is estimated that around 36,000 women will be diagnosed with the disease in 2025. For this reason, research must continue and prevention must be strengthened.
