Awards

 
Prof. Komei Nakayama Prize
 
Objective
The objective of this award is to honor and support noteworthy or pioneering research in the field of cancer treatment, diagnosis, and prevention.

History
The Prof. Komei Nakayama Prize was established within the Nakayama Cancer Research Institute in 1991 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Institutefs establishment, and was subsequently awarded five times to outstanding researchers in the Institute who had made noteworthy contributions to cancer medicine. In 1999 the JSCO was requested to take responsibility for conferring this prize, and this request was accepted at a meeting of the Board of Directors on July 27 of that year, when the JSCO took over the administration of the prize with the support of the Nakayama Cancer Research Institute. As Komei Nakayama was one of the founders of the JSCO, and the name of the prize remained the same after the JSCO took over responsibility for its administration, the first time the prize was awarded under the auspices of the JSCO was the sixth time it was actually awarded.
