The Women Who Conquer Cancer Mentorship Awards celebrate exceptional women leaders in oncology who have made significant contributions as mentors. These awards aim to recognize and enhance the visibility of women mentors in the field, helping to bridge gender disparities in oncology careers. Awardees will receive various recognitions, including a $5,000 honorarium and invitations to prestigious events, while also participating in discussions to promote professional development for women in oncology.
