Dr. Sandra M. Swain saw the need to support women navigating the specialty of oncology – Conquer Cancer, the ASCO Foundation
Quoting Conquer Cancer, the ASCO Foundation on LinkedIn:
“As ASCO president, Dr. Sandra M. Swain saw the need to support women navigating the specialty of oncology, creating the Women Who Conquer Cancer (WWCC) program in 2013. Dr. Swain continues to support the WWCC and Conquer Cancer’s research funding to this day. You can help support women in cancer research and learn more about the program at https://brnw.ch/21wIrBC
‘More and more women have chosen medicine as a career, with women making up at least half of today’s medical students, if not more. I’ve always felt strongly that women benefit from women-specific funding to stimulate their careers in cancer research when they’re starting out.’ – Dr. Sandra M. Swain.”
