1st appeared 24 June 1998 Jacobs to Head UCSF Stanford Cancer Programs Charlotte Jacobs has been named Director of Clinical Cancer Programs for UCSF Stanford Health Care, announced Bruce Wintroub, Chief Medical Officer of UCSF Stanford Health Care. Jacobs, an internationally known medical oncologist, will help develop, organize and integrate the clinical cancer programs at UCSF Medical Center, UCSF/Mount Zion Medical Center, Stanford Hospital and Clinics and Lucile Salter Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford. Although Jacobs will be in charge of clinical cancer "service lines" at UCSF Stanford, Frank McCormick, director of the UCSF Cancer Center and director of the UCSF Cancer Research Institute -- the laboratory science arm of the UCSF Cancer Center -- will continue to oversee UCSF's cancer research initiatives. Jacobs has served in a variety of roles at Stanford since 1977, including Senior Associate Dean for Education and Student Affairs for the School of Medicine from 1990 to 1997 and for the past year as Director of the Clinical Cancer Center at Stanford. There are over 200 physicians within UCSF Stanford, spanning numerous departments and divisions, who are closely involved with cancer care. New facilities under development at both campuses are being designed with this interdisciplinary approach in mind. The new facilities -- the UCSF Clinical Cancer Center at Mount Zion, which will celebrate its groundbreaking on Tuesday, July 7, and the Center for Cancer Treatment and Prevention at Stanford -- are designed with the idea of centralizing services for cancer patients, and maximizing physicians' access to each other and to ancillary services. Jacobs will have offices in both locations, and will rely on a small leadership group including the associate directors of the Stanford and UCSF clinical cancer centers; the administrative directors of those programs; and the directors of the clinical trials offices at both institutions. There are also steering committees for cancer care at both institutions. Jacobs will continue to chair the Stanford steering committee, and will participate actively in the UCSF committee.
