The Frank And Linda Meyskens Annual Endowed Lectureship On Advances In Cancer Prevention
Thanks to the vision and generosity of the Meyskens family, The Hope Foundation launched this new lectureship in 2024.
For more than 40 years, Dr. Frank Meyskens has been at the helm of the recognition, development, and clinical usage of prevention in the field of oncology. Opportunities to engage prevention in personalized medicine have grown exponentially in recent years, with heightened focus on interventions such as early detection and genetically focused treatment options.
Arising from their belief in the potential of prevention, Frank and Linda Meyskens established and endowed the lectureship to educate oncology professionals on the latest research highlighting prevention as a therapeutic approach.
According to Dr. Meyskens, “Linda and I chose to create this lectureship as one of our major philanthropic gifts because SWOG has been so important in allowing not only me, but many others interested in the field of Cancer Prevention, to pursue a variety of new initiatives, many before their time.”
