DAVENPORT, IOWA (March 3, 2021) — Gilda’s Club is hosting a FREE virtual workshop for anyone impacted by cancer on Tuesday, March 23, 2021, 6-7PM, via Zoom.
Join Gilda's Club Quad Cities and Anne Warren, RN, MS, ANP-BC, AOCNP, Clinical Nurse Educator, Puma Biotechnology for a workshop about HER2+ breast cancer on Zoom. This presentation will provide you with information about early-stage HER2+ (human epidermal growth-factor receptor 2) breast cancer and help you understand more ways to reduce your risk of recurrence.
HER2+ cancer cells have too many HER2 receptors. These are called HER2-positive cancers. HER2 receptors tell the cell to grow and divide. Therefore, cancers that are HER2-positive are more likely to grow and spread more rapidly. HER2-positive breast cancers can be more aggressive, but also respond to specific HER-2 targeted drugs.
Anyone impacted by cancer is invited to attend. Registration is required at http://www.gildasclubqc.org/calendar. For questions, please call Gilda’s Club at 563-326-7504 or e-mail gc@gildasclubqc.org
