What is oncological forgetfulness?
Oncological oblivion allows you to eliminate the obligation to declare the neoplasm from which you have suffered after a set deadline. Until now, the declaration of the state of illness implied – as repeatedly denounced also by patient associations – discrimination and difficulties in accessing mortgages, banking procedures and adoptions. In many European countries there has already been a law on cancer oblivion for some time.
