MD Anderson is grateful for the leadership of Marshall E. Hicks, M.D., who served as the cancer center's president ad interim from March through November 2017. When he began his new role, Hicks set out to position the institution for success and an effective transition to its next leader. Many contributions during the eight-month period include his successful efforts to strengthen MD Anderson's finances, further develop a team-based culture and ensure the best care for patients and employees during Hurricane Harvey. Hicks has been a member of MD Anderson's faculty for 20 years and remains one of the cancer center's senior and most respected leaders. He has returned to his position as division head of Diagnostic Imaging, which he has held since 2010.
