The award will be presented during a special ceremony at the AACI's annual meeting, October 22 24, 2006.

"I'm deeply honored to receive this special recognition from the Association of American Cancer Institutes," Foti said. "The AACI is a vitally important organization in the cancer field. As an effective advocate for the nation's cancer centers, AACI advances the cancer research agenda and facilitates progress against this terrible disease."
