From China Medical Tribune
In January 2014, "2013 Chinese Clinical Oncology Advancement Awards" organized by China Medical Tribune (CMT) and the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO) has finalized the top researches from China (a number of studies have tied votes). The achievements of Chinese clinical and basic oncology researches have attracted global attention.
In this election, 46 Chinese oncologists from 23 hospitals in China have been invited to be core election reviewers. In addition, Professor Peter Paul Yu, president-elected of American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), Professor David Kerr, pre-president of European Society for Medical oncology (ESMO), Professor Masahiko Nishiyama, president of Japan Society of Clinical Oncology (JSCO), scholars from the United States Chinese Anti-Cancer Association (USCACA), Professors Li Yan (Peking University) and Weijin Sun (University of Pittsburgh Medical Center)also have been invited to be special reviewers for this election.
"The candidate researches for the awards are studies of high quality - all were published on prestigious scientific journals, with 19 of them published on Lancet Oncology or Journal of Clinical Oncology. The findings may play important roles in oncology field. Chinese oncologists have a 'bumper crop' in 2013 ......"，Professor Yi-long Wu, president of CSCO said.
"Chinese clinical oncologists have made great efforts and completed a series clinical oncology trials with the potential of practice-changing in the past year......", "we expect that more studies presented on academic conferences or studies published on authoritative Chinese journals would be included to the election in the coming year. We hope that the election could be a way to promote the progress of Chinese oncology......", Professor Shukui Qin, immediate past-president of CSCO .
"Chinese oncologists have contributed a lot to the progress in clinical oncology. In China, various large-scale clinical trials in a variety of cancers have been performed and provided very prominent results", "A number of clinical studies have clearly demonstrated ethnic diversity in drug response and toxicity. This studies give hope for further progress in clinical oncology and improving patient outcomes in Asia", Professor Nishiyama said.
In recent years, there have been increasing numbers of valuable clinical oncology studies designed and carried out by Chinese researchers published on the leading journals in the field. Chinese oncologists are prepared and readily to devote more efforts in clinical oncology study and to cooperate with peer oncologists around world.
