Margaret Foti, PhD, MD (hc), CEO of the American Association for Cancer Research, received the Honorary Member Award at the opening ceremony of the Oncology Nursing Society’s annual congress.

“I am deeply honored to be recognized by the ONS with the Honorary Member Award,” Foti said in a press release. “Oncology nurses are playing a vital role in quality cancer care, and the compassion and deep commitment with which they care for patients and support caregivers are extraordinary in their impact.”

The society honored Foti for “her unwavering dedication to improving cancer care and her unstinting commitment to the prevention and cure of all cancers,” the press release said.

“It has been exciting to work since 2002 with these dedicated health care professionals from ONS in the development of a series of sessions that underscore the importance of the science behind what is done in the clinic,” Foti said in the release. “I look forward to what we will do together in the future to address our shared mission. If we are to accelerate the pace of progress against cancer, we must collaborate as individual professionals and organizations, and ONS continues to be a synergistic partner in the cancer field.”
