Sagittarius EU Project

Can what's on your plate today shape your health tomorrow? 🍽️ According to research found in the National Library of Medicine (NLM)'s publication Gastrointestinal Cancers, edited by Jose Andres Morgado-Diaz, PhD, red and processed meats significantly increase the risk of colon cancer, while diets rich in fruits, vegetables, and fibre provide protective benefits. Using liquid biopsy technology, SAGITTARIUS aims to match the right treatment to the right patient at the right time, improving therapy effectiveness and reducing unnecessary side effects. This approach not only increases survival chances but also enhances quality of life. On this #WorldFoodDay, let’s remember that the choices we make about what we eat can be as influential as cutting-edge technology in preventing and managing cancer. By combining healthier lifestyles with innovations like the SAGITTARIUS project, we can empower patients and ensure better outcomes for those at risk of colon cancer.

Why talk about the link between weight and cancer? 🤔 Obesity has been identified as a contributor to several cancer types, including colon cancer. Research shows that individuals with obesity are at a higher risk of developing colon cancer. Maintaining a healthy weight can significantly lower the risk of cancer and improve treatment outcomes for those already diagnosed. The Sagittarius project focuses on improving post-surgical care for colon cancer patients by using personalized approaches guided by advanced diagnostics. By ensuring patients receive tailored care, the project not only aims to enhance recovery but also to promote healthier lifestyles that can reduce the long-term burden of colon cancer. #WorldObesityDay #SAGITTARIUSProject #gastriccancerprevention #obesityawareness #healthychoices #cancerprevention #gastriccancer World Obesity Federation

Are you ok? 🫂 Mental health challenges often extend far beyond the diagnosis and treatment of colon cancer. Many patients could struggle with anxiety, fear of recurrence, and emotional exhaustion before, during, and/or after treatment. The psychological impact could also affect their carer and their families, who navigate the emotional toll alongside them. Post-surgical care is a critical time when mental health can be fragile as patients transition from survival mode to a new normal. By ensuring patients receive the right treatment at the right time, avoid unnecessary side effects, and experience better outcomes, the SAGITTARIUS project aims to contribute to a better quality of life and alleviate the burden. #WorldMentalHealthDay #SagittariusEU #SagittariusProject #CRC #ColonCancerCare World Health Organization World Federation for Mental Health IFOM AIRC - Foundation for Cancer Research NGO Università Bocconi Hospital del Mar Research Institute Digestive Cancers Europe SporeData Inc.

💡Many colorectal cancer patients will face the life-changing reality of living with a temporary or permanent colostomy. On World Ostomy Day, we recognize their resilience and the importance of personalized care in improving outcomes. At Sagittarius, we are committed to advancing innovative approaches for the post-surgical treatment of colon cancer. By focusing on more precise, tailored treatment pathways, we aim to reduce unnecessary interventions and improve the quality of life for patients—including those with an ostomy. World Ostomy Day, celebrated every three years, raises awareness, breaks stigma, and advocates for better care and support for those living with an ostomy. #WorldOstomyDay #cancercare #cancer #SAGITTARIUSProject #LiquidBiopsy #ColorectalCancer

Today on World Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Day, we recognise the impact of metastatic CRC, where cancer has spread beyond the colon. Most commonly the liver or lungs. While SAGITTARIUS is dedicated to high-risk stage II and stage III CRC, we stand in solidarity with all CRC patients and their loved ones. 🔬 Discover more about our trial and how we're working to make a difference: (Link in bio). #WorldMetastaticCRCDay #CRC #CancerResearch #SAGITTARIUSProject #ClinicalTrials

🔬On World Cancer Research Day, SAGITTARIUS calls for a unified global effort to prevent, diagnose, and treat cancer. Our trial explores liquid biopsy to tailor treatments for colon cancer patients, aiming to enhance outcomes and reduce unnecessary interventions. Collectively, we can revolutionize cancer care and improve patient outcomes. ✨ #worldcancerresearchday #gastriccancer #cancercare #cancerresearch #cancer Università Bocconi Hospital del Mar Digestive Cancers Europe SporeData Inc.

✨On World Patient Safety Day, we’re proud to spotlight the SAGITTARIUS project! Our clinical trial is exploring a new approach to treating high-risk stage II and III colon cancer post-surgery. By using liquid biopsy to personalise treatment, we aim to improve patient outcomes and minimise unnecessary treatments. This could be a game-changer in post-surgical care!🔬 #WorldPatientSafetyDay #SAGITTARIUSProject #LiquidBiopsy #ColorectalCancer Università Bocconi Hospital del Mar Digestive Cancers Europe SporeData Inc.
