This year marks the first year Dr. Hochstein’s office became a proud sponsor of the Foundation for Women’s Cancer. The Foundation for Women’s Cancer provides information on the leading types of cancer including gynecologic cancers, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer and cervical cancer. About 22,430 women in the United States will be told they have ovarian each year. In May of 2011 our Business Manager, was one of the 22k that was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer. This unforeseen tragedy has made the staff and Dr. Hochstein want to make all of our female patients aware of the importance of early detection.
