EORTC wants here by to acknowledge his contribution to the treatment of so many patients around the world who benefited from his work . His visionary approach to cancer treatment and his commitment to cancer clinical research notably has greatly served advances in the field of methodology. Under his leadership, EORTC was able to initiate the upgrade of the clinical research infrastructure based at the EORTC Data Center and launch the first consensus conference on quality control procedures. On the foreword of the 1988-1989 EORTC report, Professor Umberto Veronesi was already addressing the issue of cost/benefit relationship in our work, exemplifying his early vision of modern challenges. |

One of the leading oncology experts, Prof Veronesi revolutionized breast cancer surgery procedure with the introduction of an innovative breast-conserving technique (quadrantectomy) and the development of sentinel node biopsy to avoid complete axilliary dissection.
Prof Veronesi served as president of several cancer organisations and as Italian Minister for Health from 2000 – 2001, where he contributed to the introduction of cancer prevention policies. He also chaired the WHO melanoma group for 20 years.
Professor Veronesi has been awarded 14 honorary medical degrees from universities throughout the world and has been recognized for his breakthrough work with many distinctions, including a Nobel prize nomination; the Italian Ministry of Health Gold Medal; the American Cancer Society National Award for his work on the treatment of breast cancer; the German Johann Georg Zimmermann Award and ECCO Lifetime Achievement Award.
Professor Veronesi has inspired many advances in the field of oncology and has been a champion and model for clinicians and researchers. His contribution to the field changed the life of patients with cancer and we are deeply grateful for the role he has played as EORTC President.
