MBC Advocacy Webinar
Our 2026 MBC Advocacy Webinar took place on Friday, 15 May, bringing together around 60 passionate advocates from across Europe for a meaningful day dedicated to MBC.
The morning opened with insightful presentations from Dr. Fatima Cardoso and Dr. Dario Trapani. Dr. Cardoso began with a clear and accessible introduction to the basics of MBC — helping set a strong foundation of shared understanding of the science, disease progression, and treatment landscape. Both speakers then explored the latest advances in MBC research, treatment, and care. Discussions around the ABC Global Charter 2.0 also highlighted a strong focus on legal rights and employment after an MBC diagnosis, underlining the importance of workplace protection, financial security, and equitable access to care alongside medical treatment.
In the afternoon, MBC advocates Cynthia Cravo, Paola Cornero, and Carla Whitbread led the inspiring session “Still Me!”, followed by interactive workshops focused on communication after a metastatic diagnosis. Together, participants explored courageous conversations with family and friends, children and teenagers, employers, and colleagues, creating a safe space for honest exchanges, shared experiences, and practical advice.
A heartfelt thank you to all our speakers, facilitators, patient advocates, and participants for making this webinar such an insightful and inspiring experience. Together, we continue to ensure that science and patient voices move forward hand in hand.
