A superb afternoon with forward-thinking minds including two of our very best, Dr. Cardinale B. Smith, MD, PhD and Dr. Rob Winn — our action-centered discussions are driven by collaboration and innovation to ensure patient centricity and inclusion are at the heart of the paradigm shift in global access to cancer care and clinical trials!”
