There are an estimated 13 million people diagnosed with cancer in the United States, and about 1.3 million of these cases are hereditary. Dr. Theodora Ross, director of the Cancer Genetics Program at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, will discuss how her own family fits into these statistics when she appears at Schultz Cultural Hall. Ross will introduce her new book A Cancer in the Family and share ways to get treated and spot patterns of inherited cancer -- or, as she describes it, ways to "take control of your genetic inheritance." Alison van Diggelen, BBC contributor and host of Fresh Dialogues, will moderate this pro-active health talk at Palo Alto's Oshman Family JCC.
