Clinaltec convened in Ibagué the second edition of the Oncology Fighters Symposium, an open and free medical update space focused on cancer care.
The meeting was held on October 17, 2025, at the Fedearroz Auditorium, under the theme «The transformative role in cancer care.» The call for participation was open and registration was free.
Why a symposium and not just a service
Dr. Diana Giraldo, Research and Teaching Manager at Clinaltec, has pointed out that the institutional mission involves providing comprehensive, quality care to cancer patients through functional units. An open symposium extends that mission beyond the clinic's walls: it trains healthcare personnel in the region, not just its own staff.
Dr. Eder Lancheros provided the epidemiological context for the meeting, which justifies the effort. In Colombia, more than 17,000 new cases of breast cancer were detected in 2022, and around 4,700 women die each year from this disease.
