Phung named associate editor of cancer journal section

Thuy Phung, M.D., Ph.D., associate professor of pathology at the USA College of Medicine and director of molecular genetic pathology and dermatopathology at USA Health, recently joined the editorial staff of a cancer journal for the American Association for Cancer Research, the first and largest cancer research organization. 

She was named an associate editor of the Health Disparities and Outcomes Research section of Cancer Research Communications, a peer-reviewed journal that encompasses the full spectrum of research on cancer. Launched in October 2021, the journal aims to accelerate the pace of discovery and stimulate innovation in cancer science and medicine by providing a venue for rapid, open publication of hypotheses, methods, results, data resources and new knowledge in this quickly evolving field. 

Health Disparities and Outcomes Research, one of nine sections in the journal, publishes studies that investigate the cause and impact of differences in patient group outcomes, cancer survivorship, and the development of health policy from individual or population-level perspectives with a focus on health disparities.
