With new funding from the Veterans Affairs VA Lung Precision Oncology Program, Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University (Winship) will provide thoracic oncology expertise to help three VA medical centers expand access to high quality, disease altering lung cancer clinical trials to veterans in the Southeast.
This five-year project is supported by $5 million in funding. It involves six investigators from three VA medical centers and their cancer centers partners. They are: Charleston/MUSC Hollings Cancer Center (Nichole Tanner, MD, MSCR; John Wrangle, MD), Birmingham/O’Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center (Devika Das, MD; Mark Dransfield, MD), and Atlanta/Winship (Nicholas Maurice MD; Badi El Osta, MD).
