Welcome to the Summer Cancer Care Update |
|
|
|
Hello Readers,
It has been a busy and very hot summer. Do
you feel
sometimes that
everyone you know has cancer or that it's
just a matter
of time before
you will be diagnosed with cancer? Well,
many agree
that cancer appears
to be prevalent and that there is nothing we
can do to
prevent or stop
the inevitable but I disagree. The most
common form
of cancer in the
United States and the world is skin cancer.
It remains
the leading cause
of cancer, yes even more common than lung and
breast cancer combined.
Sharon Wilks, MD FACP
Chair of the Cancer Committee, Baptist Health
System.

Physicians are members of the
medical staff at one or more of Baptist Health
System's affiliated hospitals. However, these
physicians are independent contractors who are
neither employees nor agents of those
hospitals or of
Baptist Health System and, as a result, none
of these
hospitals nor Baptist Health System is
responsible for
the acts of these physicians in their medical
practices.
