Dr. Grotz Presented "Mucinous Appendiceal Cancers: From Appendectomy to HIPEC"
Thank you to Dr. Grotz for joining ACPMP on October 27th where he presented "Mucinous Appendiceal Cancers: from Appendectomy to HIPEC".

This presentation was incredibly informative and is a great video for those newly diagnosed or those wanting to learn more in a thoughtful step by step, easy to understand way.

Also a big thank you to Meghan Blomquist and Angel Harrington, two of our Patient Advisory Council members for coordinating this webinar! Meghan and Angel host Minnesota Appendix Cancer Allies calls where local patients and caregivers connect on Zoom.
