Nazik Hammad: A Landmark Moment for LMIC Representation at ASCO

Nazik Hammad, Medical Oncologist and professor at St. Michael’s Hospital, University of Toronto, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Great to catch up at ASCO with Erika Ruiz-Garcia MD, MS, FASCO and Eric Small immediate past ASCO president.

Erika is Chair of the 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting Education Program Committee.

Notably, she is the first ASCO member from a low- and middle-income country (LMIC) to hold this leadership role. Thank you both for working to make the annual meeting a space for bringing attention to cancer in traditionally ‘invisible’ populations such as displaced persons in Africa and undocumented migrants in HIC.”
