LEGACy at Aras de Olmos Retirement Home

Dr. Marisol Huerta, Dr. Tania Fleitas and Juan Carbonell from INCLIVA visited an Aras de Olmos retirement home to educate on signs and symptoms, risk factors, risk prevention and early detection of gastric cancer. This was made possible thanks to the support of the retirement home and the Aras de Olmos City Council.

The group of about fifty people were shown a video about gastric cancer and leaflets on gastric cancer were distributed. A debate was opened to clarify the doubts and concerns of the attendees. A survey among attendees was conducted before and after in order to know both their previous knowledge and what they had learned about gastric cancer following the education.
