Shane Jacobson, Chief Executive Officer of the American Cancer Society and Chief Executive Officer of the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN), shared on LinkedIn:
“I’m optimistic about the increasing willingness of leaders across our field to work together to ensure that progress reaches more people.
Thank you to Norman Sharpless for moderating a thoughtful conversation at the CEO Roundtable on Cancer Annual Meeting in WashingtonDC and to Clifford Hudis for sharing his perspective on where cancer care, research, and innovation are headed.
The cancer community has made remarkable strides in research. At the same time, we have an opportunity to strengthen the systems that help people access clinical trials, receive quality care, navigate treatment, and benefit from new discoveries.
That’s where organizations like the American Cancer Society and American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) play an important role. We help connect research, patient support, advocacy, and community engagement so progress doesnt stop at the laboratory door.
The future of cancer organizations isnt about any one institution. It’s about how we work together to move discoveries further, faster, and make sure they reach every person who needs them.”
