Mark Lewis on Abraham Naing: I Met a Remarkably Articulate Young Man Who Aims to Join Our Field

Mark Lewis, Director of Gastrointestinal Oncology at Intermountain Healthcare in Utah, shared Abraham Naing’s, Founder and President of Youth Entrepreneurs Club of Greater Houston, Co-founder of Khin Naing Foundation USA, post on X, adding:

“I was a freshman in high school when I decided I wanted to be an oncologist

I had a meaningful full-circle moment today at ASCO26 when I met a remarkably articulate young man who, at roughly the same age, has set his sights on joining our field.

The future is so very bright.”

Quoting Abraham Naing’s post:

“Had the opportunity to talk with Dr. Mark Lewis today, a GI medical oncologist, cancer advocate, and one of the most influential voices in oncology on social media.

We discussed the rise of young-onset cancers, the importance of effective communication in medicine, and the growing role of social media in educating patients and the public about cancer.

I was especially inspired by Dr. Lewis’s perspective on caring for patients not only as a physician, but also as a fellow human being, and by his commitment to making complex medical topics more accessible.

Thank you, Dr. Lewis, for sharing your time, insights, and experiences. I truly enjoyed our conversation.”
