Batman and Superman Help Doctors Treat Cancer in Brazil

Young cancer patients in São Paulo don't have to stare at cold, sterile chemotherapy bags anymore. Superheroes are here to help get them through chemo!

Superheroes now help young patients cope with chemotherapy

The A.C.Camargo Cancer Center in São Paulo is recruiting superheroes in an attempt to help young patients better understand and cope with chemotherapy — a complex, daunting medical treatment irrespective of age. With the help of ad agency JWT, the medical facility is touting chemo to a “superformula” for kids that can help them overcome cancer. Rather than have kids stare at a cold, sterile chemotherapy bag, the Cancer Center has concealed the treatment inside colorful cases with logos from Batman, Superman, and other DC Comics heroes.
