Free Lung Cancer Seminar to Educate Local Community
Allergy Sleep & Lung Care will be hosting a free lung cancer seminar on Thursday, April 20 at 5:30 p.m. The seminar will be held at the Healthy Life Center at Coconut Point on 23190 Fashion Dr., Suite 105 in Estero, and will focus on providing education on lung cancer detection and advancements in treatment.
According to the American Cancer Society, about 220,000 new cases of lung cancer in men and women will be diagnosed in 2017. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. It is also the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in the U.S. among both men and women, excluding skin cancer.
The lecture will provide an opportunity to get up-to-date information about lung cancer and screenings and gain practical advice and answers to questions from leading medical professionals in the field of cancer.
Presenters at the event include Board Certified Pulmonologist Imtiaz Ahmad, M.D., founder of Allergy Sleep & Lung Care and Lowell Hart, M.D., Scientific Director of Clinical Research and Director, Drug Development Program with Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute.
“Many people can be unaware of the severity of lung cancer,” says Dr. Ahmad. “It is important to be educated on the effects that lung cancer can have on the body, and know about how to detect lung cancer early, as well as new treatment options available.”
