Medical Minute: Cancer Hotspots

In this week’s Medical Minute, Dr. Joseph Hobbs, Chair Emeritus of the Department of Family Medicine at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University, discusses a study of mortality rates from common cancers in Georgia. The study identifies risk factors common too many counties with high cancer death rates, and recommends interventions to directly address those most at risk where they live.
