Having just returned from a 12 day, 6 nation health diplomacy tour, Brinker will recount the progress that we’ve made domestically and internationally in science and awareness, and will outline an approach to confronting the growing global cancer crisis by sharing what we know and employing established resources for education and screening. | WHO: | | Ambassador Nancy G.
