Lung Cancer Month - Speaker Series

November 30, 2021

In honor of Lung Cancer Awareness Month, Riverside is pleased to present a Lung Cancer Awareness Month Speaker Series. Throughout November 2021, a Riverside expert will present a topic centered around lung cancer.  Visit Riverside's Facebook or YouTube Channel.

This week - Tuesday, November 30:
Topic:  “Advanced Non-Invasive Treatment for Lung Cancer”
Presented by: Dr. Ronald Kersh, Radiation Oncology, Riverside Radiosurgery Center
- Stereotactic radiosurgery offers an advanced non-invasive treatment option for lung cancer.  With exceptionally accurate beams of radiation rather than incisions, procedures are painless, without the need for recovery in a hospital setting. Learn how tumors are precisely targeted to protect healthy tissue with sub-millimeter accuracy, and how Radiosurgery provides faster treatment sessions and increased comfort and safety for our cancer patients.

For those who cannot watch the events LIVE, the events will be saved and made available to watch at a later time on Riverside's Facebook (facebook.com/riversidehealth) & YouTube (youtube.com/c/riversidehealth) channels.

We look forward to you joining our speaker series!
