Tumor Boards

A significant advantage of treatment at the Rogel Cancer Center is our tumor boards. These frequent meetings allow patients to have the expertise of a multidisciplinary team of physicians without having to schedule individual appointments. Surgeons, medical oncologists, pathologists, radiologists, among others participate on a regular basis.

Food for Thought

The Power of a Plant-based Diet

Did you know that about one-third of all cancers are caused by poor diet? Another one-third of cancers are caused by tobacco (cigarettes, snuff, etc.). In 2002, it is expected that 1.3 million people will be diagnosed with cancer. Think about that for a minute. That means that if everyone ate well and stopped using tobacco products, about one million of these cancers would never occur. That's how much power you have over your health.

The finding could shed light on why female academic physicians in general do not have the same career success as their male colleagues.
