Maryam Lustberg: Hiram Cody about how much breast cancer Locoregional therapy has changed

Maryam Lustberg, Director of the Center for Breast Cancer at Smilow Cancer Hospital and Yale Cancer Center, shared on LinkedIn:

“Incredible talk by Hiram Cody highlighting how much breast cancer Locoregional therapy has changed in the last several decades with less radical surgical approaches and less morbidity

Biggest takeaway is that we don’t always realize less is more and our lenses and biases need to be challenged.

Case in point – the dramatic medical history of peptic ulcer disease management below.

Medicine is about change and growth and challenging existing dogmas

Thank you Mehra Golshan and the inaugural Prudence Cozier Lectureship for making this possible.”
