Description:

At the Lurie Cancer Center, your treatment plan includes care for the mind, body and spirit. Cancer Connections introduces patients, families and friends to tools, techniques and services to improve their health and well-being -- during and after cancer treatment.

Cancer ConnectionsTopics will include: "A Cancer in the Family"

When oncologist Theodora Ross, MD, PhD, was diagnosed with melanoma, she began to believe her family’s history of cancer was more than just an unlucky coincidence. Combining her personal story with the latest science of cancer genetics, Dr. Ross will offer valuable insights and practical advice to help you make informed decisions about testing and managing cancer risk.
