Why I'm a Cancer Researcher
As a childhood cancer survivor, I understand the importance of making cancer care accessible to all. With insights from my personal history and by analyzing patterns in cancer incidence and survival, I aim to contribute to more equitable cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment. Through my work, I strive to ensure that no one is left behind in the fight against cancer."
