The Power to Prevent: A Men’s Guide to Cancer Risk Reduction
Join Sharsheret for our annual discussion about how hereditary cancer risks affect men, cancers that are of particular concern (e.g. pancreatic, prostate, melanoma, colon, and male breast cancer), and recommended screenings to be proactive about your health and your family’s health.
With gastroenterologist Dr. Arkady Broder, urologist Dr. Darren Bryk, and Sharsheret’s own genetic counselor, Peggy Cottrell, we will explore hereditary cancer genetics in men, identifying first symptoms, and more importantly, steps we can all take to reduce risk.
This webinar is open to all, regardless of gender.
