2010 Boston Seminar Highlights

Thank you to everyone who made the 2010 Boston Conversations about Colorectal Cancer seminar a great success! 215 people registered for the seminar presented in partnership with Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women’s Cancer Center on Saturday, November 20, 2010.

A panel of exceptional and accomplished doctors spoke about advances in the treatment of colon cancer. Dana-Farber’s leading healthcare professionals presented information on oncology, radiation oncology, surgery and interventional radiology. An additional session was added to the Boston seminar about diet and lifestyle.
