First author of the 1969 clinical evaluation of adriamycin

Gianni Bonadonna

First author of the 1969 British Medical Journal clinical evaluation of adriamycin. Cassinelli's 2016 review says Di Marco sent him the first vials of adriamycin in July 1969, and a 2007 review summarises his work on the treatment of breast cancer and Hodgkin's disease.
