More than 50 local women and men attended Santa Barbara Breast Care Alliance‘s educational lecture “Breast Cancer Care in our Community, Real Case Reviews” on July 13.
Information about breast cancer detection, treatment and survivorship was covered, and the presentation offered an inside look at the collaborative approach to breast cancer care in the community.
Presenters included local physicians Winnie Leung, John Blaustein, Kim Grafton, W. Warren Suh, Fred Kass and Ron Latimer, and Cancer Center of Santa Barbara nurse navigator Tammy Stockero, who recently marked one year in her role of navigating patients through their breast cancer experience.
The Santa Barbara Breast Care Alliance will present two additional community lectures, for free, on Sept. 14 and Oct. 26 at SBCC.
