In this impactful video report, Giulia Gazetta Scarano, Marcela Varasquim, and Larissa Werren shed light on the difficulties women in the Amazon face when diagnosed with cancer, where medical care is not available.

Through this story, Gazetta Scarano, Varasquim, and Werren draw attention to an underreported issue and emphasize the need for more resources for this vulnerable patient population.
