If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with lung cancer, or if you are  a physician or medical personnel working with lung cancer patients, you won’t want to miss the BREATHE 2007 Lung Cancer Medical and Advocacy Conference. The conference, co-presented by the American Lung Association of Michigan and the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute, will be held Friday, Nov. 30, at the Ritz-Carlton Dearborn.
