Hospital
to offer colon cancer information
 |
Columbia Memorial Hospital, in cooperation
with Columbia Greene Community College, will offer an educational
presentation on Colon Cancer on Wednesday, February 9 from
12 noon to 1 pm at Columbia Greene Community College's
Faculty room. Jeff Monkash, MD will
provide |
information on screening procedures,
symptoms, and treatment. Colon cancer is the second most deadly
cancer, killing more people than breast cancer or prostate cancer.
Colon cancer is 90 percent curable when it is detected in its
early stages. If not detected, it typically goes unnoticed until
it has spread beyond the intestines - at which point the five
year survival rate is less than 60 percent. Dr Monkash has been
an attending physician in the Department of Medicine since 1983.
He is board certified in both internal medicine and gastroenterology.
Dr Monkash's special interests are in preventive medicine and
rural health care.
