Preventing and Treating Cancer

Health Matters is a weekly radio show sponsored by the Medicine Center Pharmacy on WHBC 1480 AM in Canton, Ohio. In this episode pharmacists, Brad White and Paul White discuss Breast Surgery and Oncology Services at the Aultman Timken Family Cancer Center with Dr. Sabrina Shilad of Aultman Breast Surgery and Dr. Sareena Singh of Aultman Gynecologic Oncology.

Cancer is a word used to define a collection of diseases that share one unique characteristic—the uncontrolled growth of cells that have the potential to spread or metastasize to other parts of the body. Gynecologic cancers grow from reproductive organs including the cervix, uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, vagina, and vulva. In 2020, breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most common type of cancer diagnosed in women, and cervical cancer is currently the second most common gynecological cancer.  

In this episode, we will talk with Dr. Shilad and Dr. Singh both about preventing and treating cancer as well as the exciting news they have to share about the opening of Aultman’s new cancer center.
