What brought me to lung cancer? What shaped my career? And why am I so passionate about health equity?
I explored these questions and more with Oncology for the Inquisitive Mind, discussing my journey in medicine, young-onset lung cancer, our work at Dana-Farber, and the importance of equitable cancer care.
