She also provides an update on COVID-19 and how it might interact with the flu over the winter months.
Also, radiation oncologist Karna Sura from the Upstate Cancer Center will discuss the benefits of medical marijuana in cancer treatment and why almost half of the patients in a recent study never obtained the medical marijuana they were prescribed. He was part of a team that studied the use of medical marijuana in that setting.
