Practice what you preach. That’s exactly what Dr. Worta McCaskill-Stevens is doing by participating in the NCI-sponsored Tomosynthesis Mammographic Imaging Screening Trial (TMIST). The clinical trial, which she co-designed, is comparing 3-D and 2-D mammography to determine which is better for breast cancer screening. To Dr. McCaskill-Stevens, it’s a chance for all women, including herself, to take a more active role in thinking about their own screening and the implications of which technology to use.

A clinician-turned-researcher and director of the NCI Community Oncology Research Program, Dr. McCaskill-Stevens found it difficult to leave direct clinical care but believes that research and clinical trials like TMIST can have a major impact on patients nationwide.

Her work in breast cancer and with community-based clinical trials have won her many awards, including being named to EBONY magazine’s 2013 Power 100 list of the nation’s most influential African Americans in health and science.
