Cancer immunotherapy expert Dr. Martin ‘Mac’ Cheever of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center on Nov. 9 was awarded the first-ever Distinguished Service Award from the Society for the Immunotherapy of Cancer. The award honors Cheever’s work establishing and directing the Cancer Immunotherapy Trials Network.
The federally funded network, often known by its acronym, CITN, conducts early-stage, multicenter clinical trials of promising immunotherapy agents for people with various cancers. Fred Hutch houses the network’s Central Operations and Statistical Center and its Immune Monitoring Lab.
