Free Seminar: Minimally Invasive, Massively Effective: Treating Colorectal Cancers With Surgery
Seminar
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United
States - and one of the most common cancers in our area. Prevention and
early detection through healthy lifestyle and regular screenings are key
components in beating this disease. Once diagnosed, though, treatment
often involves surgery. In recent years, surgical treatment has advanced
and can often be done with minimal risk—and minimal invasiveness.
Minimally Invasive, Massively Effective: Treating Colorectal Cancers With
Surgery is a free seminar being held Friday, March 29 at 12 noon at the
Lake Charles Memorial Hospital Shearman Conference Center on Oak Park
Blvd. A light lunch is provided and reservations are required at least
24 hours in advance. For more information or to make a reservation, please visit
