Café Scientifiques
bring together experts
with non-researchers
(like you, me, neighbours, friends) in a
relaxed atmosphere
to talk about important
health questions.
Please join us for a
lively discussion, debate,
and refreshments.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. One out of every seven
Manitoba women will experience breast cancer, often after age 50.
But scientists and doctors have been developing better ways to identify
those at risk. A better understanding of genes and how our bodies are
affected has paved the way to new and improved methods of treatment.
But what about women who have already been diagnosed with cancer?
How can we improve the care, communication, and coping mechanisms
available to them? Will this improve how well they respond to treatment?
Come join in the discussion and learn more about the latest developments in the care and treatment of breast cancer.
