Prestigious recognition for Ugo Cappellacci , awarded today with the “Cancer Policy Award” , a tribute to his commitment to promoting policies for the prevention and fight against cancer .

The award was also given to other authoritative institutional figures, including the Minister of Health Orazio Schillaci, the Vice President of the Chamber Hon. Giorgio Mulè and the President of the Lazio Region Francesco Rocca.

In Cappellacci's speech, a special thought goes to cancer patients and their families , as well as to the importance of prevention and ongoing support : " I dedicate this recognition to the patients who made it, to those who didn't make it and to those who are fighting now - the words of the president of the Social Affairs Committee of the Chamber - without forgetting their families, who are living this battle with the same intensity . Politics must and can do more: investing in prevention, research and collaboration between institutions and associations to fight cancer is never a cost, but an investment in the life and future of all of us".

"The road is still long," added Cappellacci, "but the results obtained so far demonstrate that working together , uniting politics, institutions, scientific research and patient associations, is the right way to improve the quality of life of citizens and reduce the impact of this pathology."
