The ASCO Post features Conquer Cancer Foundation Board member Thomas G. Roberts, MD, who dedicates a shelf in his home to memories of patients—photographs, notes, expressions of gratitude, traces of lives linked with his through cancer treatment. He looks at it every day, he says, and the memories inform his mission.  A former oncologist, Dr. Roberts chose to invest time and resources in the Conquer Cancer Foundation, he says, because of the organization’s alignment with his own mission and interests—and because of the Foundation’s unique capacity to drive cancer care forward at what appears to be a critical inflection point in understanding, preventing, and treating the disease.
