THURSDAY, October 10, 2019—The Prevent Cancer Foundation® honored Andrew C. von Eschenbach, M.D. with the James L. Mulshine, M.D. Leadership Award for his work leading the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST), the first large-scale clinical trial for low-dose CT lung cancer screening. The award was presented on October 10, 2019, at the 16th annual Quantitative Imaging Workshop: Lung Cancer, COPD and Cardiovascular Disease.
The award was presented by Jim Mulshine himself, saying, “Andy, you changed the world. 10 years ago, there was profound skepticism around implementing a national lung screening trial and now it’s unbelievable–the world has changed. On behalf of the hundreds of thousands that have been spared the suffering of a lung cancer diagnosis, I thank you for the work you have done.”
