The director of UCI’s cancer program aimed at working with patients ages 18 to 39 will lecture on the latest approaches to improving treatment with that demographic during Young Adult Cancer Awareness Week at UCI Medical Center on Thursday.

Throughout the week, UCI Medical Center is offering free cancer education sessions, massages and a rock climbing wall from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at its Cancer Center building, 101 the City Drive in Orange.

From 12:30 to 1 p.m. Thursday, Leonard Sender, director of UCI’s Young Adult Cancer Program, will discuss treatments for adolescents and young adults, which some consider an under-treated population among cancer patients.
