We would like to make you aware of some minor changes to this week’s upcoming webinar focusing on breast cancer.
Dr. William Gillanders, a Washington University professor in the Department of Surgery whose areas of specialties include breast surgery for benign disorders, breast and thyroid cancer and surgical endocrinology, will be joining us in lieu of Dr. Appleton.
Also, the webinar will be live from 2:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. instead of the usual noon slot.
To give you some background on this very experienced and patient-focused surgeon, we’ve included an excerpt from an article written about Dr. Gillanders below:
“Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, but no two breast cancer patients are quite the same. We have to take into account all the clinical features of the patient (medical history and biology of the tumor) to come up with a treatment plan that is most appropriate and suitable. It’s very interesting, because for each patient, the disease is just a little bit different and that impacts how we plan the treatments.”
Be sure to send your questions in so that we may add them to our ever-growing list! You can submit them via email at barnesjewish@bjc.org, post one on our Facebook page, or submit one here on this blog in the comment section.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
