Abdalla Sholi, M.D.
Medical Oncologist, UPMC Hillman Cancer Center
The latest data from Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. To help reduce the number of cancer deaths, a wide variety of screenings are used by health care providers across the country.
