Gianni Bonadonna (1934–2015) is fondly remembered. His contributions to the field of oncology are highlighted, including a clinical trial to determine the effects of postoperative combination chemotherapy to prevent relapse of breast cancer, which led to a revolutionary treatment approach using various active agents, and a salvage regimen for the treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma.
