In collaboration with many colleagues throughout his career, he always-to use his own words-''sought to see more than common vision, truths beyond what seemed to be.'' His research was aimed at advancing the understanding of cancer, particularly mammary carcinogenesis and the biologic behavior of breast carcinoma. In the last 2 decades, the main focus of his research was the dynamics of the interaction between cancer aggressiveness and host response mechanisms, involving in particular direct measurements of cell-mediated immune reactivity in patients against their own cancer cells, the evaluation of the prognostic significance of that data, and the utility of the data in the individualization of adjuvant therapy.
