Times Union: New St. Mary’s Cancer Treatment Center Opens

St. Peter’s Health Partners (SPHP) unveiled the new St. Mary’s Cancer Treatment Center, a new cancer center specially designed for and by cancer patients.

The Times Union published a story on the benefit concert for Sock Out Cancer, being held Tuesday, May 8, at Albany’s Palace Theatre. The event will be headlined by William Close and The Earth Harp Collective. Net proceeds will go to the foundations of St. Peter’s Hospital and Albany Medical Center.

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.
