Led by Elisabeth Heath, M.D., FACP, the Patricia C. and E. Jan Hartmann endowed chair for Prostate Cancer Research at Karmanos Cancer Institute, and professor of Oncology and Medicine at WSU School of Medicine, the symposium will share valuable information and tools to help educate and enhance cancer survivorship.
"Due to the overwhelming success of our past symposiums and acting on the feedback from our attendees, we have expanded this year's symposium to include valuable information about several cancer areas," said Dr. Heath. "I encourage those who have been touched by cancer to register and attend the Oct. 12 symposium."
The symposium is sponsored by Bayer, Genentech and Pfizer.
