Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States, taking more lives annually than breast, prostate and colon cancer combined. Lourdes is hoping to bring awareness about Lung Cancer to the community with two events.
A free seminar will be held at the Owego Treadway (Red Roof Inn) located at 1100 NY-17C in Owego on Wednesday, Nov. 8 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Dr. Praveen Bondalapati will talk about how to reduce the risk of lung cancer and how lung cancer screening can benefit those who are at risk.
Shine A Light on Lung Cancer is a free event open to the public and held at the Binghamton Club, 83 Front St., Binghamton on Thursday, Nov. 9 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. as part of the nation’s largest Lung Cancer Awareness event.
