Laura J. Esserman, MD, MBA, a 2018 Giants of Cancer Care® award winner in the Cancer Diagnostics category led the way in designing the I-SPY clinical trials, a groundbreaking effort to match patients with breast cancer to potential therapies based on molecular drivers of disease. She also has advocated for a greater understanding of the biological drivers of breast cancer, rather than relying on mass screening programs, to better analyze early disease.
