UCC symposium on rare cancer open to public

A MAJOR medical symposium will be held in UCC tomorrow concerning the rare cancer that killed Apple computer company founder Steve Jobs.

One of the speakers at the meeting, which is free and open to the public, will be RTÉ’s Northern correspondent Tommie Gorman, who was treated for an advanced carcinoid tumour in the late 1990s.

He has undergone many types of treatment while working as a journalist and is very involved inpatient advocacy.
