Summary

  • I am a medical oncologist and Distinguished Professor of Health Policy & Management AND Medicine at the UCLA Schools of Public Health and Medicine. I am also the Associate Director for Population Science at the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center. I was elected to the Institute of Medicine (IOM) in 2007, now National Academy of Medicine (NAM). I also served on the National Cancer Institute Board of Scientific Advisors from 2002-2007 and on the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Board of Directors from 2003-2006. I received the American Cancer Society Medal of Honor in 2010. In my research I have pioneered the assessment of quality of life in cancer patients, and have focused much of my clinical and research efforts in the areas of breast cancer and its prevention. My major areas of research include cancer survivorship and the late effects of cancer treatment, measurement of patient reported outcomes in clinical treatment trials, and quality of care for cancer patients.
