Asino Foundation for Oncological Neurosurgery
CNAO reception project

ASINO Foundation supported part of the expenses related to the stay of the families of the children arriving from all over Italy and abroad at the National Center for Oncology Hadrontherapy (CNAO) in Pavia, the only facility in Italy and among the only 6 in the world capable of treating difficult tumors by employing proton and carbon ion beams.
Many parents are forced to quit their jobs and move to be close to a facility that offers their child specialised treatment, resulting in financial and social problems that add to the psychological stress caused by the disease, and at CNAO many young patients with rare cancers sent from the main national paediatric oncology hospitals are treated.
