Is a colonoscopy really necessary? Do the at-home screening tests actually work? When do I really need to start screening?
The Northeast Georgia Medical Center is hosting two question and answer sessions next month on colorectal cancer.
A panel of doctors – including a gastroenterologist, surgeon, medical oncologist and radiation oncologist – will discuss common myths and facts regarding prevention, screening and treatment options for the disease.
One meeting will be held Tuesday, March 7, in NGMC Braselton’s Education Center; the other is planned Wednesday, March 15, in NGMC Gainesville’s Walters Auditorium.
Registration and a free light supper start at 5:30, with the presentations beginning at 6:00. The seminars are free, but registration is required.
