FEATURED EVENT
DON'T MISS OUR EXPERT PANELS! | SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 2023
Cancer screening, early detection, and treatment are rapidly changing, with new technologies and therapies being introduced. This year almost 2 million Americans will be diagnosed with cancer. Therefore, it is critical for primary care providers to remain current with guidelines. Understanding the initial cancer therapy is also essential for optimal patient care, as patients often seek information from multiple sources, including their primary providers. This conference will address numerous topics related to common forms of cancer commonly seen and often diagnosed by PCPs.
