Think you’re too young for colorectal cancer? Think again. It’s on the rise among people under 50 years old. The good news is you can stop cancer before it starts with routine screenings beginning at age 45. #colorectalcancer #cancerscreening #cancer #GWCancerCenter

We are excited to commence the first sarcoma tumor board at @UHCancerCenter. Mahalo to Dr. Sean Kelly and Dr. Ashley Aratani for their leadership. Considering that we are geographically isolated, this is a major accomplishment for us. Our goal is to keep all patients on the islands.
