Understanding Your Pathology Report
Monday, November 17th, 5-7 pm
With Imok Cha, MD
Your pathology report can be a major source of information
on your cancer diagnosis, possible treatments, and prognosis.
Unfortunately, the pathology report is sometimes written
in terms that frequently only pathologists and other medical
professionals can understand. Join us in this free, informative
seminar to help you identify the terminology and meanings
included in your pathology report. Topics will include:
- grading and staging terminology and meanings
- tumor size, location and cell involvement
- histologic and histopathologic classifications
- identifying diagnostic and prognostic factors
No charge. Light refreshments included. Held at 1600 Divisadero.
RSVP required. Call the Cancer Resource Center at 415.885.3693.

Lesbian Health Salon Series Announced by the Lesbian
Health Research Center
New Salon Series Brings Lesbian Health Information into
the Community. Each Salon in the series will include a meet
and mingle hour followed by an informal, interactive discussion
on a selected topic led by LHRC medical and research leaders.
There is no charge to attend. At each event the question
of how lesbian health differs from women's health in general
will be briefly addressed. Timeframe for each Salon is 7:00
PM - 8:30 PM. For details on salons and their locations,
contact Betty Sullivan: LHRCenter@aol.com or 415-861-1637.
Schedule of Salons
Thursday, January 22 - Comparison of Same-Sex Couples
in Civil Unions and Their Lesbian/Gay Friends without
Civil Unions and Their Married Heterosexual
Thursday, February 26 - Heart Disease Risk Among Lesbians
Thursday, March 25 – Mental Health Issues Among Lesbians
The Lesbian Health Research Center (LHRC) is specifically
and uniquely concerned with the health and wellbeing of
lesbians, bisexual women, transgendered individuals and
their families; and with the health care available to them.
We believe that every lesbian has the right to be fully
informed about her health, health care should be sensitive
and relevant to lesbians and lesbian health research is
critical. LHRC has begun to bring lesbian health information
out of the closet and into the hands of community members
and health care providers through its on-going activities
and services. For information, visit http://www.lesbianhealthinfo.org;
or e-mail: info@lesbianhealthinfo.org.
