Program Description

Event Details

Each year, about 255,000 women and 2,700 men in the U.S. are diagnosed with breast cancer. The likelihood of a positive diagnosis increases with age.  Dr. Edna Kapenhas, who leads the breast surgery and breast surgical oncology program at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital, and who is also the Medical Director of the Ellen Hermanson Breast Center,  will speak about the risk factors, warning signs, and treatment options that are available to patients diagnosed with breast cancer.   Dr. Kapenhas will also answer questions after her lecture. 

This program is sponsored by Stony Brook Southampton Hospital and the East End Library Programmers and hosted by Hampton Bays Library.
