On Tuesday, Nov. 8, Samaritan Heart & Vascular Institute will host a seminar on lung cancer. As the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S., more than 170,000 new cases of lung cancer are diagnosed each year.

The good news is lung cancer is largely preventable. Understanding the risk factors and how to best mitigate risk are essential. Cardiothoracic surgeon Mark Taylor, MD, will present information about prevention, early detection, screening, risk factors and surgical treatment options for this disease.

Date: Tuesday, Nov. 8
Time: 6 to 7 p.m.
Location: Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center
               3600 NW Samaritan Drive, Corvallis
               HP/Starker Conference Room

Heart-healthy snacks and beverages will be provided, and the first 25 registrants will receive a free gift. Space is limited, so register today.

This seminar is a part of Samaritan Heart & Vascular Institute’s monthly educational seminar series, Healthy Minds, Healthy Bodies. The seminars are held at Good Sam each month on the second Tuesday from 6 to 7 p.m. and feature a variety of health topics.
