 Robert J. Motzer, MD, a world-renowned board-certified medical oncologist, was honored recently at the 10th International Kidney Cancer Symposium held here in Chicago for his outstanding commitment to helping to advance research in renal cancers. In addition to delivering the keynote address at this prestigious meeting, Dr. Motzer was honored with a research award of $10,000 to be made in his name to support the work of a promising young investigator. Dr. Motzer has published more than 300 original articles, scientific reviews, chapters, and abstracts, and has given lectures worldwide. He's also a recipient of the Career Development Award from the National Institutes of Health, and serves as an advisor to the Kidney Cancer Association, a charitable group made up of patients, family members, physicians, researchers, and other health professionals. I'm Bill Brough, CEO of the Kidney Cancer Association, and I'd like to acknowledge Dr. Motzer's work. We patients have much to be grateful for, thanks to Bob's dedication to helping to improve the quality of life for the many thousands of people living with kidney cancer as we continue to strive together for a cure.
