• Celebrating a Milestone in Cancer Research

  This month marks the 50th anniversary of the publication of a paper by now-Georgetown Lombardi member Marc E. Lippman, MD, MACP, FRCP, and his colleague Gail Bolan, MD, that showed for the first time that the hormone estrogen can drive the growth of breast cancer. It was a pivotal moment in cancer research that has led to life-extending and lifesaving treatments for the thousands of people who develop breast cancer each year.
