Katie Miller Young Adult Cancer Conference: Fertility Before and After

Des Moines, IA US
November 7, 2012

“What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.” – Pericles 

Learn the importance of early detection of cancer in young adults, along with its treatments. Too often, symptoms or warning signs are ignored or dismissed due to the age of the patient.  It is seen as something that occurs more predominately in the older population.  With more research, discussion and public awareness, maybe then key symptoms that might have otherwise been dismissed be detected early on.

Target Audience

Des Moines University students, staff, faculty and alumni, Des Moines area primary care physician(s), physician assistants, nurses, and all other interested healthcare professionals.
