Winning the war on Cancer:
Immunotherapies, early detection and community action
Dr. Sancy Leachman
Chair, Department of Dermatology
Oregon Health Sciences University
Leachman is passionate about fighting the “War on Melanoma” and has
led the effort in building one of the largest national melanoma patient
registries in Oregon. In line with the OHSU Knight Cancer
Institute’s focus on the early detection of cancer, Leachman
and team have developed a mobile phone app,
MoleMapper, which tracks moles and their change and
growth over time. MoleMapper will help to gather
data for melanoma research and, potentially, impact
health outcomes in individuals at risk.
Sancy Leachman, M.D., Ph.D., is a physician-scientist who chairs
the Department of Dermatology at Oregon Health & Science
University (OHSU) and is the director of the Melanoma
Research Program at the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute, an
NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center. She is a
dermatologist using basic science research and state-of-
the-art technology to combat skin cancer.
When not working, Leachman spends time
with her husband and two children in
outdoor pursuits including hiking,
skiing, backpacking and exploring
the Pacific Northwest.
