“Super proud to have Yelena Janjigian as my mentor through the Conquer Cancer, the ASCO Foundation IDEA program. She is a true role model in every aspect—whether presenting at the ASCO plenary session, working with patients in the clinic, leading the outstanding MSK GI service, or being a mother and wife.

Had a chance to visit renowned Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center GI and Sarcoma clinics and even enjoyed the picnic with the team!

Special thanks for the opportunity to be selected as an MSK 2024 International GI Oncology Mentee… This year promises to be fantastic.”
