As ASCO winds down, I want to thank the late Dr. Waun Ki Hong for being an unbelievable mentor and supporter for so many who are now leading cancer breakthroughs. We were fortunate to have him cheering us on (then and now). MD Anderson Cancer Center cancerletter.com/in-the-archive…

I am deeply saddened to share that our dear Dr Michael Frumovitz has passed. Gynecologic oncology has lost a giant in the field and we lost an amazing friend and human being. Thank you Michael for the moments we shared and the love you brought to us all! We love you! IJGC

I’m so sorry to hear this. He was always advocating for his patients. Grateful for the chance to work with Michael Frumovitz on small cell research and to share patients. I know he is still cheering us on.

Sara Cosgrove and I shared a connection in addition to The Osler Medical Residency. A very special high school biology teacher who has left a legacy of doctors and scientists who she inspired…including ASCI members Barbara Trautner Emily Wang and Dr. M. Monica Gramatges
