Formerly called the ASCO Statesman Award, the Fellow of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (FASCO) distinction recognizes ASCO members for their extraordinary volunteer service, dedication, and commitment to ASCO. Their efforts benefit ASCO, the specialty of oncology, and, most importantly, the patients they serve.
Society volunteers regularly go beyond their daily practices and research to contribute their time, energy, and skills to ASCO committees, publications, and meetings. Those who are recognized with the FASCO status represent some of the most dedicated volunteers within the organization. “These are people who have given of themselves tirelessly over a long period of time. They represent the very best of our organization,” said ASCO CEO Allen S. Lichter, MD, FASCO.
Jonathan S. Berek, MD, MMS, Editor-in-Chief of ASCO Connection and a 2013 FASCO, said, “Working for ASCO is very meaningful because we, as volunteers, are able to foster improvements in all aspects of cancer discovery and care—and to contribute to the clinical, scientific, and social issues that are critical to advance the causes of improved discovery, prevention, treatment, and delivery of essential cancer care.”■
