2011
RECIPIENT: Dr. Neal Kassel; University of Virginia
FOCUS: For the development of ultrasound technology for treating metastatic brain tumors. Metastatic brain tumors are a common site for primary lung cancer. This technology has shown to be very successful in early studies and is about to begin human trials soon.

RECIPIENT: Dr. Ravi Salgia, University of Chicago
FOCUS: Enormous progress has ben made in recognizing that many non-smoking lung cancers are predisposed by chromosomal mutations. There are screenings already developed and many more in development for detecting these mutations. A targeted therapy can then be devised to treat or possibly even prevent specific lung cancers The most notable treatment to date is crizontinib, a targeted treatment for specific chromosomal mutation ALK.
For more information, go to The University of Chicago Medical Center.
2010
RECIPIENT: Dr. Joseph Salma, Duke University Medical Center
FOCUS: Research supporting development of a special optical device for direct view of lung tumors to determine changes over time. This will help identify aggressive tumors from non-aggressive tumors and development treatment protocols for each patient.
