from the Publisher WELCOME TO THE September– October issue of MD News, where you'll find stories and articles about, from and for physicians in the greater Cleveland/Akron/ Canton area. Our Cover Story focuses on breast cancer. In this story, four specialists at University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center discuss the contradictory guidelines for annual mammograms, breast cancer risk assessment (family history is most important), genomics for treatment selection, oncoplastics to improve outcomes, and more. We think it's a great update for primary care physicians. Our Feature Story also offers an update — on what's new in GI at Akron Children's. Akron Children's recently established a comprehensive pediatric gastroenterology program with new physicians, new technology and new services never before offered here. Take a tour through the GI department via MD News to learn more. Lake Health, where peripheral artery disease (PAD) and carotid artery stenosis are the two most common vascular diseases treated, is the focus of our Hospital Spotlight. Most procedures are endovascular and performed in Lake Health's new $4 million hybrid vascular OR. Very impressive. Women's Health and Pediatrics are the themes of our Special Clinical Sections. Here, you'll find articles from local physicians who specialize in cardiology, gynecology, podiatry and bariatric surgery. Back in our Business Section you'll find articles from local attorneys, CPAs and financial planners. Looking ahead, our November–December issue's Special Clinical Sections will focus on Digestive Health and Cancer. (See page 11 for details.) If you specialize in one of these areas, you'll want to be included. Contact me to learn how. Thanks for reading!
