Today was an incredible day for oncology in the Upstate South Carolina! The Oncology Symposium presented by Women, Life and Science in partnership with GIBBS CANCER CENTER AND RESEARCH INSTITUTE-PELHAM was a success! The interaction between the speakers and the audience was amazing! Guest Speaker Judith L. Pearson, author of “Crusade to Heal America: The Remarkable Life of Mary Lasker" closed our day with thought provoking insights from the perspective of a cancer survivor.

Our CEO Cecilia Zapata-Harms and COO Lillia Holmes who are also board members of Women, Life and Science were in attendance. We can't wait when the next one will be.

Women, Life, and Science is proud to participate in Breast Cancer Awareness Month this Pink October. 🎀

According to the The National Cancer Institute, around 310,720 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2024, with approximately 42,250 fatalities expected.

To understand your personal risk for breast cancer, consult your primary care physician or gynecologist for a risk assessment, or request a referral to a specialized breast clinic for further evaluation.

By staying informed and proactive, we can contribute to early detection and better outcomes for those affected by breast cancer.

💭How will you help raise awareness and support research efforts to combat breast cancer?

Let’s work together to make a difference.
