Zacharoula Sidiropoulou, Senior Consultant Breast Surgical Oncologist at Hospital São Francisco Xavier, shared on LinkedIn:
“Every patient deserves care that is personalised, up to date, and grounded in information they can trust.
As breast cancer care, my focus, becomes increasingly sophisticated, the important question, crossing borders and time, remains: how do we make sure that scientific progress translates into better decisions for every single patient?
This was at the heart of our conversation with Journal of Breakthroughs in Medicine and Science and LA Times Studios at ESMO 2026 at Madrid, as part of the Doctors & Scientists interview series.
We explored several issues shaping the future of breast cancer care:
- Emerging treatments and what they may mean for patients
- Artificial intelligence, its potential, and the importance of trustworthy health information
- Moving from one-size-fits-all approaches towards more personalised screening
- Why fertility preservation should be discussed from the very beginning, not as an afterthought
For me, these conversations are much more than just technology or new treatments. They are about giving people the knowledge, choices, and support they need at every stage of their cancer journey.
Thank you to Journal of Breakthroughs in Medicine & Science, LA Times Studios and especially Yeva Margaryan, for the opportunity to contribute to this conversation.
To which Yeva Margaryan, Managing Editor of the Journal of Breakthroughs in Medicine and Science, added:
“Talking about breast cancer and so much more with Zacharoula Sidiropoulou, an exceptional doctor and an even more exceptional human being.”
