Dr. Reid is a cancer epidemiologist, Distinguished Professor of Oncology, Chief of Cancer Screening and Survivorship, and Director of Collaborative Research at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center (RPCCC). She has over 20 years of experience directing cancer screening and surveillance studies on upper aero-digestive cancers, particularly those evaluating the natural history of epithelial premalignant lesions. In 2014, under Dr. Reid’s leadership, RPCCC developed a mixed model comprehensive cancer screening and survivorship clinical and research program, with a central clinic and small satellites. The comprehensive cancer screening program includes lung, breast, cervical, colorectal, and pancreatic cancers and has a general screening clinical service. The survivorship program provides comprehensive patient centered survivorship care, symptom management, referrals to an array of support services and the generation of a detailed care plan for all patients and community providers. Over 4600 patients have been seen in the clinical program since its inception from multiple disease sites. The entire multidisciplinary team of providers places great emphasis on wellness, cancer screening and risk reduction while supporting research that will enhance the evidence base of comprehensive screening and survivorship care.

Bill Brummel is an award-winning documentary producer/director. He and his films have been recognized with a Peabody Award, two International Documentary Association (IDA) Awards, five national Emmy nominations, and been named to an Oscar shortlist. After having his voice box removed in 2016, Brummel produced and directed “Can You Hear My Voice?”. The film chronicles London’s Shout at Cancer choir, whose singers are also living without voice boxes.

Many of Brummel's previous films have focused on civil rights and human rights issues. Some of Brummel’s other credits include Selma-The Bridge to the Ballot, Erasing Hate, Blood Diamonds (Emmy nomination), Rwanda-Do Scars Ever Fade? (Peabody Award, two Emmy nominations, IDA award), Viva La Causa (Oscar shortlist), Bullied, Inside Pol Pot's Secret Prison (IDA award, two Emmy nominations), Opus Dei Unveiled, Civil Rights Martyrs, Standing Tall at Auschwitz, Child Warriors, The Greensboro Massacre, Inside North Korea, and The Ku Klux Klan: A Secret History.

After finishing the film “Can You Hear My Voice?”, Brummel has become a sought-after speaker on the psychosocial issues of cancer survivorship, especially head & neck cancers. As a 26-year cancer survivor and after 7 years speaking with a voice prosthesis, Brummel tells his cancer story and addresses the stress, isolation, and despair that often accompanies the disease - and he does so with empathy, compassion, film clips (or full screenings), and a little bit of humor.

Brummel has given keynote speeches, conference presentations, and participated in webinars and screening events for cancer support and advocacy organizations, medical universities, hospital groups, and professional clinician organizations. A partial listing of event follows.

Michelle Mollica, PhD, MPH, RN, OCN, serves as deputy director of the NCI Office of Cancer Survivorship and is responsible for developing, supporting, and promoting research efforts focused on improving outcomes for people impacted by cancer.

With an enduring interest in improving care for those impacted by cancer, Michelle focuses her research on the intersection of survivorship and healthcare delivery, including the transition into post-treatment survivorship, models of survivorship care, integration of oncology and primary care providers, and specific survivor populations (e.g., individuals living with advanced and metastatic cancers). Michelle has a background in mixed methods research and community-engaged research, and has experience conducting qualitative research and intervention development in underserved populations. Prior to her position at NCI, Michelle worked clinically as an oncology nurse.
