Stories from the journey
Make earlier diagnosis the standard.
The future of cancer care isn’t just about treating cancer better. It’s about finding it earlier, when we have the greatest opportunity to change outcomes.
Marie Cassese
Nurse, hospital executive and strategic advisor
The greatest opportunity to change cancer outcomes begins long before treatment.
For Marie Cassese, this perspective comes from a career spanning nursing, hospital leadership and cancer treatment innovation.
As a nurse, she witnessed firsthand the profound physical and emotional burden cancer places on patients and the people who love and care for them.
As a hospital executive, she saw how delayed diagnosis complicates the course of treatment, and adds to the pressure patients, families and healthcare providers feel.
Through her work with oncology innovators, she has seen the extraordinary potential of new technologies and treatments—and the importance of identifying cancer early enough for patients to benefit from these advances.
As an advisor to AIRA Sciences, Marie brings a unique perspective shaped by her commitment to patients and her understanding of the healthcare systems that must make early detection accessible.
During Lung Cancer Awareness Month, her perspective is a reminder that progress isn’t only about new treatments. It’s also about giving more people the chance to benefit from them through early detection.
We’re grateful to Marie for sharing her experience and her commitment to AIRA’s mission.
