Ishwaria Subbiah: The Sarah Cannon Docs commitment to advance cancer research runs deep
Ishwaria Subbiah shared a post on X:
“The Sarah Cannon Docs commitment to advance cancer research runs deep.
- Education of physicians and multidisciplinary team members is critical to sustained success of the mid- and long-term vision to broaden access to clinical trials.
- Today’s highlight – meeting with our energized internal medicine residents under chief Dr. Katherine Stockham’s leadership and discussing comprehensive symptom management to optimize both cancer and trial outcomes.
- If treatment toxicities are on your radar, then ensure your supportive care collaborator is high on your list of go-to contacts.“
