Know Your Options, Know Your Risks
for Gynecologic Cancers
Presented by NYU Cancer Institute, an NCI-designated Cancer Center

In recognition of Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month, this program will shed
light on women-centric cancers such as cervical, endometrial and ovarian. Our
panel of experts will create a forum for a comprehensive discussion, examining
the role of risk factors, prevention strategies, diagnosis and treatment options for
these particular cancers affecting women across the globe. Lifestyle decisions,
hereditary risks and updates in targeted therapies will all be discussed,
in addition to exploring exciting new research studies just on the horizon.
