$1 Million Magee Prize Awarded to Team Studying Endometrial Cancers
On November 13 at the Magee-Womens Summit, Magee-Womens Research Institute (MWRI) awarded the $1 million Magee Prize to a team led by Dr. Ronald Buckanovich, professor of medicine at the University of Pittsburgh and MWRI, for research focused on developing new approaches to diagnose and treat high-risk types of endometrial cancer, which recently surpassed ovarian cancer as the deadliest gynecologic malignancy.
