With her recent appointment to the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons, Dr. Sharmila Roy-Chowdhury joins a network of more than 1,600 volunteer physicians who lead their respective hospitals' cancer programs. Roy-Chowdhury, an attending surgeon in the division of clinical oncology at Seventh-day Adventist-owned Loma Linda University Medical Center in Loma Linda, California, will hold the post for three years. She says she hopes the position gives her the opportunity to help educate the community about cancer prevention and treatment -- particularly the "life-saving value" of cancer screening. Roy-Chowdhury also serves on a cancer committee at Loma Linda and teaches in the university's School of Medicine. [Loma Linda/ANN Staff]
