In 2021, a research that evaluated how physical exercise could fight cachexia, a condition related to cancer and that can worsen it, was the winner in the Research in Oncology category.
In the Technological Innovation in Oncology category, the winning work sought to develop a new test that would accelerate the diagnosis and follow-up of colorectal cancer. The research observed four types of microRNA — molecules that act in the signaling and functioning of cells — with large amounts in patients with this type of tumor.
As for Outstanding Personality in Oncology, Hugo Aguirre Armelin, a biologist, researcher and responsible for the discovery of the molecule related to the fibroblast growth factor, was chosen.
The choice of winners is made by a commission made up of outstanding scientists and members of society committed to the theme. The winners in the three categories will receive R$ 20 thousand and a certificate.
The award ceremony will take place on August 5th.
