Health Education Seminar

The educational programs sponsored by The Society are conducted in cooperation with the professional staff of the Center and have, over many years, included lectures, forums, seminars, group discussions, printed materials, and videos. The annual Health Education Seminar is central to The Society's commitment to providing public education on the prevention, early detection and treatment of cancer. A different discussion topic is selected every year based on its timeliness and importance and expert clinicians at MSK are invited to speak on the chosen subject.
