Assess your cancer risk at an online seminar on Aug. 26

Community Memorial Health System is hosting a free online seminar that can help you assess your risk for developing cancer. The free seminar, titled, “Genetic Testing: What it Can Tell You About Your Risk & Prevention of Cancer,” will take place at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 26.

While there is no sure way to prevent cancer, there are things everyone can do to help identify and decrease the risk of developing cancer. In some cases, evaluating your genetic makeup can provide valuable information to help estimate or predict your chance of getting cancer at some point in your lifetime.

To attend, please RSVP at www.cmhshealth.org/RSVP. This event is hosted by Community Memorial Health System as part of its 2021 Speaker Series Online. Leading this seminar are family medicine physician Dr. Allan Wagner and Ember Layton, a licensed and certified genetic counselor.
