CHICAGO, May 28, 2026
Evidence-based resource from Viver Health, supported by Gilead Sciences, Inc. and endorsed by AONN+ to improve understanding, communication, and care for Spanish-speaking individuals living with metastatic breast cancer in the U.S.
CHICAGO, May 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Viver Health is proud to announce a culturally adapted U.S. Spanish version of Your Guide to Managing Symptoms from Metastatic Breast Cancer Treatment (Spanish MBC Guide) available to U.S. healthcare professionals (HCPs) and debuting at the 2026 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO).
Stop by Gilead's ASCO Booth #27037 to experience the Spanish MBC Guide and pick up free print copies.
Despite Hispanic communities comprising one of the fastest-growing segments of the U.S. population, "Too often, Spanish-speaking patients and families are left navigating a metastatic breast cancer (MBC) diagnosis without resources that truly reflect their language, culture, and lived experiences. Access to understandable and culturally responsive education is essential to equitable care. This Viver Guide represents an important step in ensuring Hispanic and Latina patients feel seen, informed, empowered, and supported," said Dr. Veronica Vital, PhD, MSN, MLS, RN, President, National Association of Hispanic Nurses (NAHN).
Developed in collaboration with individuals living with MBC, bilingual oncology HCPs, and patient advocates, this novel Guide includes:
- Culturally resonant language and imagery
- Comprehensive symptom management content: including pain, fatigue, neuropathy, gastrointestinal symptoms, and nutritional guidance
- Guidance on when to contact HCPs
- Resources for psychosocial and financial support
"Spanish-speaking breast cancer patients face a critical gap in accessible, culturally relevant information—this first-of-its-kind Spanish Guide directly addresses that need by providing trusted, easy-to-read, tailored education that empowers Hispanic communities to navigate a breast cancer diagnosis with confidence," said Dr. Estelamari Rodriguez, MD, MPH, Associate Director for Community Outreach, Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
"Too often, language and cultural barriers limit patients' ability to fully engage in their care," said Darren Tayama, MD, Vice President, US Medical Affairs, Oncology, Gilead Sciences. "This MBC guide reflects Gilead's commitment to improving care by ensuring HCPs and Spanish-speaking patients have access to trusted, evidence-based resources that support informed conversations and better care experiences."
