AACR supports the nomination of Andrew von Eschenbach as the commissioner of the FDA

y at the Keck School of Medicine at USC.

"His knowledge of the health delivery system at all levels -- as a medical researcher, cancer physician and as a leader of a major government health agency lend support to his qualifications as FDA commissioner," Jones added.

Among his other professional activities, Dr. von Eschenbach was president-elect of the American Cancer Society, and also served as a speaker in public outreach programs organized by the AACR. He is a three-time survivor of cancer, giving him an added perspective of a patient who faced a life-threatening disease.

"Dr. von Eschenbach not only brings a wealth of scientific knowledge to the FDA post, he also brings the personal experiences of a cancer patient and survivor," said Foti.
