Ravindran Kanesvaran, Chairman and Senior Consultant of the Division of Medical Oncology at the National Cancer Centre Singapore, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Honoured to chair the 2026 ASCO B.J. Kennedy Geriatric Oncology Award session and to introduce this year’s award recipient, Enrique Soto Perez de Celis.
It was a privilege to read his citation and reflect on his remarkable journey – from training and early practice in Mexico City to becoming an internationally respected leader in geriatric oncology at the University of Colorado.
His award lecture, ‘Geriatric Oncology: The Coming of Age of a Specialty – Its Distinct Principles, Practice, and Science in a Global Context,’ was thoughtful, inspiring, and timely. Enrique highlighted how geriatric oncology has evolved from a niche interest into an essential pillar of modern cancer care, grounded in evidence, multidisciplinary collaboration, and a deeper understanding of the needs of older adults with cancer.
What stood out most was his emphasis on building a truly global field – one that is relevant not only to high-income countries, but also to diverse healthcare systems worldwide.
A well-deserved recognition for a clinician, researcher, educator, and global advocate for older adults with cancer.”
