Eric Winer, MD, director of New Haven, Conn.-based Yale Cancer Center and physician-in-chief of Smilow Cancer Network, began a one-year term as president of the American Society of Clinical Oncology on June 7.
After this term, Dr. Winer will serve one-year terms as chair of the board and then as past president.
"More than anything else, what influences my presidential agenda is the fact that I am first and foremost a clinician," Dr. Winer said. "Everything I do is influenced by what I have learned from my patients, including my work as a researcher, mentor, and administrator."
