Ralph W. de Vere White, MD, associate dean for cancer programs at UC Davis School of Medicine, director of the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center and a distinguished professor of urology, received the Huggins Medal Award from the Society of Urologic Oncology.

The award recognizes de Vere White’s lifetime achievements in research and clinical practice, which have contributed to the progress in the treatment for patients with genitourinary tumors.

“There is hardly a nicer feeling than when your peers, who know all your faults, decide to give you an honor like this,” de Vere White said in a press release. “If I have done one thing well in my career, it is having leveraged resources available to the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center and to do it by encouraging and allowing people to work in teams.”

De Vere White, the first urologist in the United States to serve as an NCI-designated cancer center director, was president of the Society for Urologic Oncology from 2007-2009.
