A resident doctor at Cooper University Hospital discusses his poster with an interested peer.
Is there a way to improve longevity and quality of life in patients with testicular or prostate cancer?
This is just one of the many medical questions that were presented during Cooper University Hospital’s Research week—April 19-23, 2010. Cooper medical students and physicians worked for months identifying cases and studies, creating a better understanding of emerging health trends and new disease management techniques. Over 115 posters were displayed throughout the halls of the hospital and the winners took home more than $4,000 worth of cash prizes.
“Cooper residents and fellows are participating in important basic and clinical research which will lead to advances in medicine that will help patients throughout South Jersey and the world,” said Carolyn E. Bekes, M.D., Chief Medical Officer. “Cooper is very proud of them and the contributions that they have made to our body of knowledge”.
