Alexia Potamitou discusses pediatric oncology and medical innovation

Clinical nutritionist Alexia Potamitou recently appeared on the podcast 'Nomikismoi' to discuss her advocacy work following the death of her son, Nikolas, from cancer. Potamitou has channeled her personal loss into a mission to support families facing pediatric cancer and to highlight deficiencies in the Cypriot healthcare system regarding pediatric oncology.

During the discussion, Potamitou outlined plans to introduce a revolutionary liquid biopsy medical tool to Cyprus, developed in collaboration with Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard. Furthermore, her organization is working to provide affordable access to specialized second medical opinions from international experts, aiming to bridge existing gaps in local care for children battling the disease.

The podcast episode, broadcast on July 28, 2026, serves as a platform to address societal taboos and systemic state failures in medical support. Potamitou's initiative represents a grassroots effort to improve medical outcomes and provide a support network for affected families, utilizing international partnerships to enhance the diagnostic and treatment options available within the country.
