Mark A. Lewis, MD will be the featured guest for CCF's Luncheon with the ExpertsFacebook LIVEseries on Thursday, December 10 from 12 noon to 1 pm, Eastern Time.
Mark A. Lewis, MDmedical oncologist, is Director of Gastrointestinal Oncology at Intermountain Healthcare in Murray, Utah. His interests include young-onset cancers and hereditary cancer syndromes, shared decision-making, and patient-physician communication. Dr. Lewis is active in the SWOG Cancer Research Network, a clinical trials cooperative group created by the National Cancer Institute; within SWOG he chairs Adolescent & Young Adult (AYA) Oncology.
Dr. Lewis has a very unique story for a NET expert! During his medical training, he diagnosed himself with multiple endocrine neoplasia type-1 (MEN1) and so has a particular and deeply personal interest in hereditary tumor syndromes. Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors were found when Dr. Lewis had an endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in 2009. In 2017 he underwent a Whipple surgical procedure to remove his tumors.
This Facebook LIVE event will be hosted by Rain Bennett, a longtime CCF filmmaker and dear friend of the NET community. To view the program come to CCF's Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/Carcinoid/, at noon Eastern Time. There is no need to register and there is no special link.
Viewers are welcome to pose questions for Dr. Lewis during the live program.
