THE PREVENTION, detec-

‘tion, and: metheds of self-
‘examination of cancer will be

presented and discussed at a

Continuing Education
‘Forum in North Vancouver

this month.

The forum is a two-part

mini-series on positive health
‘choices’ in preventing cancer
and promoting good health.

Part one features breast

* self-examination and the ear-

The featured speakers are
Dr. Anne Worth, a
pathologist with the Cancer

Worth said.

CCABC receive biopsies

awarded the Terry Fox
Fellowship for cancer
