Cancer...a word we all dread to hear.
Yet millions of people have to deal with the reality of cancer every day.
How do they cope? How do they make informed decisions?
Join us for a FREE Cancer Symposium.
We've developed this symposium to provide information about the current challenges and successes in treating cancer and to help you find answers to your questions and hope for the future.
We'll screen an excerpt from the PBS series Cancer : The Emperor of All Maladies, based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book by Dr. Siddhartha Mukherjee.
We've assembled a panel of some of the top physicians in four key fields of oncology: medicine, radiology, surgery, and research as well as some top health system executives and some cancer survivors who will discuss the past, present and future of cancer. You will get a chance to ask them your questions.
Major Topics to Be Discussed by the Panel
- Wisdom Gained From the History of Cancer
- Hope for a Cure
- General Cancer Information
- Importance of Cancer Suppprt Opportunities
- Education about Cancer Diagnosis,
- Asking the Correct Questions, Understanding Procedures and Making Decisions
- Cancer Successes
In addition there will be pamphlets and handouts on many cancer related topics for you to pickup and take home with you.
The symposium will be moderated by Melissa Crowley of ABC News10.
