Business Review: St. Mary’s New Cancer Treatment Center Opens

Make this the year you help the dad in your life kick the smoking habit.

The St. Peter’s Hospital Cancer Care Center rolled out the red carpet last week to recognize National Cancer Survivors Day, and celebrate patients who have fought against and survived a cancer diagnosis.

Kelly Hug, lead cytotechnologist at the Samaritan Hospital laboratory, was the co-author of a paper published in the June 2015 issue of the journal Anticancer Research. The paper, titled “Expression and Tissue Distribution of MicroRNA-21 in Malignant and Benign Breast Tissues,” included findings related to Hug’s master’s thesis research on breast cancer biomarkers.
