In October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the University Women’s Hospital and the NCT are hosting a public lecture series on breast cancer. Over the course of four evenings, experts will provide information on the latest developments in breast cancer treatment—ranging from modern surgical procedures and new medications to innovative approaches to radiation therapy, as well as ways to support treatment through exercise and nutrition. The lectures are aimed at patients, their families, and anyone else interested in the topic. The speakers will provide an accessible overview of current treatment options and will be available afterward to answer questions and engage in personal discussions.
