Introducing SMA President Dr. David Netscher’s Monthly “100 Words” Message
December 5, 2025 //
I am pleased to provide my first installment of monthly "100 words", to provide timely updates, highlight member achievements, thank all who work tirelessly for our SMA community, and to engage our membership.
In this first message I thank outgoing President Loretta Loftus for her leadership this past year and for an outstanding Annual Scientfic Assembly. Talks were educational, intellectually stimulating, and entertaining, emphasizing the core missions of SMA on multidisciplinary cancer care, humanism in medicine and investment in future careers of the next generation of physicians
Our strength is achieved through collaboration between specialties.

David Netscher, MD
