Cancer

Cancer is defined as the uncontrollable growth of abnormal cells in the body. Patients suffering from cancer will exhibit cells that divide too quickly, almost in an out-of-control way; sometimes they even forget to die. Both men and women are at risk of developing cancer and the number of different types is vast. At St. Joseph Health in Sonoma County we are here to answer questions for men about prostate cancer as well as inform women about what can be done to reduce their risk of breast cancer. Certain factors help predict invasive breast cancer, and we can inform you of what these are so you can be on the lookout at all times.
