Event Details
Our speaker will be Usman Shah, medical director of GI Oncology at Overlook hospital, Phase 1 trial programs. The Precision Revolution in cancer marks a fundamental shift in medicine: not treating cancer based solely on where it is (the organ) but treating it based on what it is (the genetic mutation). In the past, two patients with lung cancer received the same "blunt force" chemotherapy. Today, they might receive entirely different treatments because their tumors have different genetic "drivers."His talk will cover the newest tools doctors are using to extend and save lives.
The Summit Area Old Guard is a social, educational, and recreational fellowship of active men of retirement age, founded in 1930. We hear presentations most Tuesday mornings in an auditorium in New Providence, and we have many other activities including discussion groups, sports and outdoor groups, and celebrations. Our dues are minimal, and members volunteer for all aspects of the operation. Our motto is "Come for the programs. Stay for the friends." Guests are always welcome to attend and to learn about our organization.
