West Chester Hospital will host a free seminar featuring physicians, who specialize in cancers that affect women, from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Saturday. The specialists will discuss cancers including breast, cervical, endometrial, ovarian, uterine and other female reproductive system cancers.
Participants will learn how to recognize early signs and symptoms, and receive important information about early detection, prevention, diagnosis and treatment for various types of cancer.
The latest surgical and non-surgical treatments will also be discussed.
The National Cancer Institute estimates that new breast cancer cases diagnosed in women in the U. S. last year numbered more than 230,000, plus another 2,100 new cases diagnosed in males. In addition, newly diagnosed cases of endometrial cancer, a common female cancer, have increased to well over 36,000 in 2011.
The event is free, but space is limited.
