Recently, a round table was held in the city of Cádiz (Spain), organized by the University of Cádiz and INIBiCA. The event addressed the four fundamental pillars of the OACCUs project. For two hours, three speakers shared their knowledge and experiences in an enriching and educational event. Each presentation lasted for 30 minutes, followed by a 10-minute question session to encourage dialogue and audience participation.
The first speaker, David Jiménez, responsible for the OACCUs project at the University of Cádiz (UCA), presented the philosophy behind OACCUs, as well as its website and toolbox. Additionally, the powerful testimony of a young cancer survivor, Mila Ogalla, was included, who shared her valuable personal experience. The round table also featured the participation of oncological exercise specialist Soraya Casla, who provided crucial information on how exercise can positively impact cancer treatment.
This event was a unique opportunity to learn and delve into the key aspects of the OACCUs project, while offering support and hope to those affected by cancer.
