Six Internationally Distinguished Physicians
Join ESUN's Medical Advisory and Editorial Board
Over the past few years, the work of the Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Initiative has grown considerably. ESUN has become a robust open-access publication with a significant readership. Our Research Grants Program has now funded and co-funded more than $1 million in sarcoma research grants. As our initiatives grow, so does the need for members of our dual Medical Advisory and Medical Advisory and Editorial Board. We are pleased to announce that six distinguished physicians have accepted appointments to our board starting in April 2010. They are:
| Alessandro Gronchi, MD Istituto Nazionale Tumori Milan, Italy |
 |
| David Malkin, MD The Hospital for Sick Children Toronto, Canada |
 |
| Piotr Rutkowski, MD, PhD Sklodowska-Curie Memorial Cancer Center and Institute of Oncology Warsaw, Poland |
 |
| David Thomas, MD Peter MacCallum Cancer Center East Melbourne, Australia |
 |
| Margaret von Mehren, MD Fox Chase Cancer Center Philadelphia, USA |
 |
| Jeremy Whelan, MD University College Hospital London, United Kingdom |
 |
These physicians join a board that includes sarcoma surgeons, medical oncologists, clinicians, and researchers from eight different countries. They share a passion for helping those facing sarcoma and are dedicated to finding better treatments and a cure for sarcoma. Our board members provide invaluable service to the sarcoma community as they write and review articles for ESUN. They help us fund the best research possible by reviewing and recommending submissions to our Research Grants Program.
We are proud of the international nature of this board and are grateful for the unique backgrounds and experiences that these physicians bring to our efforts. They enhance our ability to draw submissions to ESUN and grant applications from physicians and researchers worldwide.
