President's Cancer Panel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The President's Cancer Panel is a three-person panel that reports to the president of the United States on the development and execution of the National Cancer Program. Members serve 3-year terms, and at least two of the three panel members must be distinguished scientists or physicians. The president appoints one of the members to a one-year chair position. The panel meets at least four times each year, and these meetings are open to the public.[1] The Panel was established in 1971 by the National Cancer Act.[2]

As of July 2022, the panel consists of Elizabeth M. Jaffee, M.D., FACR, FAACP, (chair), Mitchel S. Berger, M.D., FACS, FAANS, and Carol L. Brown, M.D., FACOG, FACS. [3]
