Sanjay Juneja: We can always do more. We should do more.

Sanjay Juneja, Hematologist & Medical Oncologist, Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center, posted the following on LinkedIn:

“Overwhelmingly encouraged by the reception of AI considerations in improving cancer care at this year’s ACCC’s TEXAS SOCIETY OF CLINICAL ONCOLOGY annual meeting. Even more than that, though, I have to mention how extraordinary…and extraordinarily inspiring… American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)’s President Dr. Robin Zon and Texas Oncology’s / Community Oncology Alliance’s Dr. Debra Patt, MD PhD MBA are in their unrelenting efforts and passions, across so many different elements of oncology care today.

I got to learn them well this weekend, and the only way I can describe it is… how fortunate and catalytic it is when you meet someone who has done what you know would take three lifetimes for you to ever do—but to do it, too, with grace. With purpose. With simply, ‘righteousness’. Because it’s ‘the right thing to do’. I’m telling you, y’all… we can always do more. We should do more. When it comes to the emperor of all maladies that threatens any human existence, we are in this together. And every life, today and tomorrow, matters. Matters now*; with urgency.

That’s what I took away from these two, and many others this weekend. The best leaders, happen organically. They don’t become leaders out of pursuit, but because of their independent and autonomous actions. I feel more inspired, encouraged…and proud–of the hands we’re in as it comes to combating cancer. All for one, and one for all!”
