The European project Cinderella aims to improve the prediction of the results of reconstructive surgeries in patients with breast cancer. The goal is to support patients who undergo mastectomies in managing expectations regarding the aesthetic results, thus facilitating their decision during the phase of choosing the intervention to be performed. The protocol that formalised this European project was signed on May 23, with a funding of €5M.
