NCI-Designated Cancer Center

We have a great show on "Becoming an NCI-designated Cancer Center" - we will introduce the MCW Cancer Center and discuss why cancer centers are so important: what makes them different from smaller programs; why research is so important; what does “NCI-designation” mean; and much more! Such a critically important topic to share with all of you on The Word on Medicine. As a surgical oncologist, this is a special program for me and it is a wonderful opportunity for us to have Dr. Gustavo Leone, the Cancer Center Director on The Word on Medicine. Dr. Leone will be joined by Dr. Jim Thomas, Dr. Melinda Stolley, and Mrs. Geneva Johnson. There is no more inspirational supporter of the Cancer Center and all of the physicians, APPs and nurses than Mrs. Geneva Johnson – you simply cannot miss this program!
