What Keeps Me Going

I never lose sight of the fact that most people are affected by cancer in some way—personally, as a caregiver to a family member or friend, or from losing someone they love. As a scientist, I am dedicated to helping them by designing and conducting research that can be used to support health policies that can improve cancer survival and better ensure that patients and their families can maximize quality of life.”

At 草莓影视 since 2012

Xuesong Han, PhD, is the Scientific Director of Health Services Research in the Surveillance & Health Equity Science department of the American Cancer Society (草莓影视). She leads cancer disparities research related to health insurance coverage and aspects of the Affordable Care Act.
