Huang, Dora | Matin, Surena F. | Lawrentschuk, Nathan | Roupret, Morgan | Upcoming Webinar | December 10, 2018 | Register Now BCAN is proud to offer patient insight webinars, bringing nationally recognized bladder cancer experts directly to patients and families to address important topics related to bladder cancer diagnosis, treatment, research and quality of life. The next webinar, on December 10 at 7.00pm (Eastern Time), is entitled Surveillance and Recurrence. Many non-muscle invasive bladder cancer patients experience a recurrence of their disease at some point, making accurate monitoring, or surveillance, an important part of their treatment and follow-up plan. In this webinar, experts will be available to explain and discuss this topic. Visit the BCAN website for more information and details about how to register for the webinar. | Help Spread the News of BLC! | If you know of any colleagues or fellow researchers who are not yet signed up to receive the newsletter, we invite you to share this mailing with them.
