World Cancer Conference
In honor of World Cancer Day, SilkProUSA and Pink Luminous Breasthosted an expert panel on cancer at the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, Florida on February 1, with leading medical professionals in an effort to continue educating the public on the second-most deadly disease in the world. The brunch event was hosted by Founder and President of SilkPro USA, Marylin Dans, and moderated byAna Quincoces, TV personality, chef, and media influencer.
During the reception, guests had the opportunity to hear from medical experts includingGiselleBarreau Ghurani, MD, Obstetrics, and Gynecology; Luis Fernando Correia, MD, Health Correspondent and Project CURA Ambassador in Brazil; Moises Irizarry, MD, Board Certified Preventive Medi-cine and Sports Medicine Physician; and Jose Lutzky, MD, Chief of Hematology and Oncology Division, Mount Sinai Medical Center.
The panel discussed the challenges facing women in Latin America and the need for drastic resources to help those who have either no financial means of receiving medical care or the education to know they are at risk. The importance of health screening was also highlighted. Panelists spoke on the differences in awareness and accessibility in comparison to the United States, such as the laws being enacted in Brazil to further convince women to be tested for breast cancer.
“Cancer affects us all, even if we don’t know someone directly, we are affected. As we travel to third world countries, we see women with cancer looking for sources of support because of the lack of resources available to them,” Moises Irizarry, MD, Preventive Medicine Physician, and Pink Lumi-nous Breast spokesperson.
The event also served as the official unveiling of the Pink Luminous Advocacy Project, a non-profit organization supporting breast cancer awareness efforts in places where access to education and medical services are not always prevalent. The non-profit organization will provide access to potentially life-saving technology at low cost to economically-challenged communities in the US and abroad.
“Empowering consumers to live an awareness lifestyle is part of our mission and events like this help to provide the education and awareness on breast cancer to women and men in our community,” said Marylin Dans, Founder, and President of SilkPro USA. “Our ultimate goal is to make this knowledge and technology available to everyone, helping millions of women worldwide live longer.”
As a preliminary screening tool to assist women in their in-home regular breast care routine, PinkLuminous Breast, the flagship product of SilkPro USA, is meant to help increase awareness using a breakthrough technology designed to give women a never-before-possible look at the inner workings of their breasts – illuminating blood tissue through RED LED-light technology.
