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.“
