A few years ago, we had the opportunity to host a 27-year old Russian oncologist in Oregon. This was a part of an international exchange sponsored by our professional society, ASCO. Young oncologists from around the world were hosted by American institutions for a week to get some experience with research conducted in the US. Who would have thought that our guy, Ilya Tsimafeyeu would become the CEO of RUSSCO, the Russian counterpart to ASCO, the American Society of Clinical Oncology.
It was fun to see a recently interview with Ilya, or shall I say, the CEO. Take a look at it here if you would like a glimpse of how things are going in Russia.To put a smile on your face see Larry's latest cartoon.To learn more about clinical trials, take a look at our book.
