3rd Annual Sylvester Cancer Survivorship Symposium – Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center
shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Thanks to significant advances in treatment, the focus of cancer conversations is increasingly shifting from “Will you live?” to “How will you live?” More than 300 attendees gathered at the 3rd Annual Sylvester Cancer Survivorship Symposium, to exchange ideas, explore new opportunities and shape the future of survivorship care and research. The event was dedicated to improving the health and quality of life for cancer survivors beyond treatment.
The agenda, crafted by Jessica MacIntyre, and Frank J. Penedo, featured two concurrent sessions. One focused on the latest research for researchers and health care providers, while the other provided survivors and caregivers with essential resources for post-diagnosis life.
Keynote speaker Bill Brummel, a 24-year cancer survivor, shared his powerful journey and insights from his award-winning documentary, “Can You Hear My Voice?” which he produced and directed after losing his voice box in 2016.
The symposium also responded to the growing interest in men’s health issues. MacIntyre led the “Men Talk Cancer” panel, which included a male patient advocate, caregiver, and Sylvester patient discussing the unique societal pressures men face regarding masculinity, and the challenges these create in seeking support.
For clinicians, the symposium’s scientific track showcased leading-edge research and clinical care strategies for cancer survivors. They discussed lifestyle medicine, immunotherapies and assessing and managing toxicities, as well as survivorship and genitourinary cancers.

“Working together we will help patients navigate survivorship.
Thank you Jessica MacIntyre and Frank J. Penedo for educating and inspiring patients and patient advocates.
My thoughts and message is in this video “working together (researchers, clinicians, nurses, patients and caregivers) we will help patients navigate a cancer diagnosis, treatment and survivorship.””
