In an ASCO News story commemorating the 20th anniversary of the ASCO Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium, Flavio Rocha, M.D., says: “One of my favorite ASCO GI moments was when one of our patient advocates from the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation shared her story about her journey with cancer treatment, as well as some of the research she had conducted in collaboration with us. I recall looking around the cavernous meeting room in the convention center in San Francisco; there was not a dry eye in the audience. It reminded me of why we do what we do.”

OHSU's Center for Women’s Health welcomed its first visiting medical resident from out of state to receive specialized training in abortion care.

This goes far beyond just the states with abortion bans; it is truly a threat to women’s health care everywhere."
