  • Investigative Journalism, Newsletter/Trade Publications, first place, for “A Coup D’état, and a $12M Deal at the University of Utah,” by Paul Goldberg and Matthew Ong (The Cancer Letter, April 21, April 28, May 5, 2017)

  • Front Page Design, Newsletter/Trade Publications, first place, for “43 Years Later: A Redesign of The Cancer Letter,” By Jacqueline Ong and Katherine Goldberg

  • Series, Newsletter/Trade Publications, finalist, for “Real-World Data: A New Frontier in Cancer Bioinformatics,” by Matthew Ong (The Cancer Letter, June 2, June 9, 2017)

This is the first time The Cancer Letter has won design awards. Every week, our illustrator, Katherine Goldberg, offers a smart, irreverent take on events in oncology. Jacqueline Ong, our designer, undertook a snazzy redesign of the PDF version of The Cancer Letter.

Incidence rates in women 50-64 years of age have surpassed those in men, and rates in women under 50 are now 82% higher than their male counterparts, up from 51% higher in 2002. In 2021, for the first time, lung cancer incidence was higher in women under 65 than in men. 
Over the past five years, Cedars-Sinai Cancer has built an integrated, regional system designed to provide cancer care close to where patients live and work. This model of care, directed by an academic medical center to patients at the community level, proved to be the best possible approach to supporting patients in our 11-million-person catchment area during the worst fire disaster in California history.
