HASTINGS — Mary Lanning Healthcare has scheduled a press conference featuring M. Sitki Copur, MD FACP, an oncologist at the Morrison Cancer Center.
Members of the media are invited to hear Dr. Copur speak and ask questions about his recent inclusion in two national publications. The news conference is set for 3-4 p.m. on Wednesday, January 9 in the Mary Lanning Healthcare Board Room. The Board Room is located on the Ground Floor near the Executive Offices.
Dr. Copur recently received word that Scientic American magazine and The ASCO Post (a publication of the American Society of Clinical Oncology) wished to feature his research and insights.
“It is a great honor to have my work featured in both of these national publications,” Dr. Copur said. “For the entire duration of my career, which has turned into a calling now, I have been involved in research and clinical trials mostly to benefit my patients but also to help advance cancer science. I will continue my calling of trying to find a cure for this deadly disease through national high-level cancer research and clinical trials in my new position at the Morrison Cancer Center.”
“I am excited and honored to tell the story and show the world about the wonderful things that can be accomplished in a rural setting like central Nebraska,” Dr. Copur said.
