Meetings and Events

Complex environmental exposures—including chemical agents (e.g., air pollution, pesticides), radiation (e.g., ultraviolet light, radon), and lifestyle factors (e.g., diet, tobacco use, alcohol consumption)—can induce DNA damage, and increase cancer risk.

Please join us at our next Building Bridges in Cancer Symptom Science Webinar on the impact of cancer and cancer treatment on bone health. Dr. Guise will provide an overview of bone health and cancer treatment-induced bone destruction, while Dr. Zhang will discuss metastasis and bone fragility.
