Decoding Cancer: Science vs Fiction

Cancer patients, their families, friends and our whole community are vulnerable to misinformation about alternative therapies for cancer that can do more harm than good, the Irish Cancer Society’s Head of Research will tell a Cork audience at this free public talk.
 
Dr Robert O’Connor will speak at the Irish Cancer Society public talk ‘Decoding Cancer: Science vs Fiction’ at 6:30pm on Thursday, 16 November in Room G10, Brookfield Health Sciences Complex, University College Cork.
