Anastasio Recipient of 2023 Pitkin Award

Duke gynecologic oncology fellow Mary Katherine Anastasio, MD, has been named a recipient of the 2023 Roy M. Pitkin Award as first author of one of the best papers published in 2023 in Obstetrics & Gynecology (The Green Journal). The publication’s editors select articles from all published throughout the designated year, and a panel of former editorial board members review and rank the articles based on scientific merit, methodology, presentation of results, soundness of conclusions, writing style and importance to the specialty. Dr. Anastasio will receive $1,000. The award-winning paper is titled “Cryocompression to reduce peripheral neuropathy in gynecologic cancer: a randomized controlled trial.” She and colleagues will be following up with another study to further define the efficacy of cryocompression to prevent chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. Faculty Laura Havrilesky, MD, MHSc, is senior author on the award-winning paper, and Haley Moss, MD, MBA, is co-author.
