Cancer is a devastating disease, but with advanced diagnostic methods, we are now able to detect it more accurately. While cancer-related mortality has been steadily decreasing for most cancers, unfortunately, this is not the case for pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, and a few others. Clinicians and Researchers around the world understand the challenges we face in the fight against these types of cancer, and we are all committed to overcoming them together.
I am incredibly thankful to Wafik S. El-Deiry, Howard Safran, Jake Kurtis, Mukesh Jain, and others for recruiting me to The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University. Our dedicated team at the Legorreta Cancer Center at Brown University, including exceptional colleagues like Robert W. Sobol Jr., Benedito A. Carneiro, Don S. Dizon, Stephanie Graff, Hina Khan, Alex Raufi, Jerry Azzoli, David Wazer, Shiyoko Cothren, Liang Cheng, Jeremy Warner, Sheldon Holder, Paul DiSilvestro, Michelle R Dawson, Cara Mathews, Attila Seyhan, Neil Sarkar, Rishi R. Lulla, Sean Lawler, Patrycja Dubielecka, Roxanne Wood, Sharon Rounds, Juan Alfonzo, Fairbrother William, John Sedivy, and many others, are tirelessly working to reduce cancer incidence and improve survival rates here in Rhode Island and beyond.
A special thanks to our tireless leader and director, Wafik S. El-Deiry, for his unwavering dedication to bringing our team together to achieve this vital goal.β
