OhioHealth Cancer Care Lecture Series Library

Cancer survivors face physical, psychological and social challenges related to their treatment. And the health needs of cancer survivors are different from those who’ve never faced a cancer diagnosis.

To meet the unique needs of our ever-growing number of survivors, we’re proud to introduce our Cancer Care Lecture Series, educational discussions for survivors on the topics of their interest.
