Eight Italian oncologists, six woman
and two men, are among the 123 researchers set to be honoured by
the American Society of Clinical Oncology in its annual
conference opening in Chicago tomorrow.
Only two of the eight who will receive the Conquer Cancer
Foundation Merit Award actually work in Italy.
They are Emanuela Palmerini of the Rizzoli Orthopaedic
Institute in Bologna, who gets the award for the second year
running for her work on rare bone tumours; and a young
researcher specialising in colon cancer, Daniele Rossini of Pisa
hospital.
