Who was Gary M. Glazer?
Gary M Glazer was the Emma Pfeiffer Merner Professor in the Medical Sciences at Stanford University. During his career, Glazer not only developed novel research and clinical programs that introduced a multitude of technologies and practices into the field, but also personally advanced the use of lifesaving diagnostic imaging, especially for cancer.
An early investigator of both computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, Glazer is credited with developing standard imaging criteria for distinguishing liver and adrenal tumors, and for categorizing different stages of tumors in lung cancers — standards still in routine clinical use and critical to treating these diseases.
