Crawford Mark Hart Arnold Palmer Barbara Crown Dawne Hickton Bradley Penrod *Deceased 2 | UPMC CancerCenter University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute | 3 On September 3, the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute (UPCI) proudly celebrated the first 30 years of an ambitious collaboration between UPMC, the University of Pittsburgh, and Carnegie Mellon University to contest the ubiquity of cancer and lessen its toll. It all started in a linen closet … or perhaps in a trailer ... or a converted patient room …. Everyone tells a slightly different tale. But this is certain: since its undeniably humble beginnings in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh, UPCI now includes more than 2,000 physicians, researchers, and staff focused on the complex, seemingly relentless disease. These individuals are leading approximately 440 active clinical trials to improve cancer care. And each year, they are part of a team that cares for some 70,000 patients and publishes as many as 1,000 scholarly articles about their transformative work. The staff takes tremendous pride in this. Dorothy Mann, manager, Division of Hematology/Oncology and UPCI’s fifth employee, recalls the early days, with people being “peppered all over” with “no cell phones, no fax, no email” and just doing “a lot of running” from makeshift lab to makeshift lab. A cancer survivor herself, Mann is reassured by the progress she sees firsthand. “I am in awe of the researchers,” she says. “They are so committed and they will not give up until they find a cure.” HILLMAN CANCER CENTER 4 | UPMC CancerCenter University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute | 5 UPMC experienced rapid growth and transition during the early 1990s. Then in 1997, Shadyside Hospital merged with UPMC, and UPCI was moved to Shadyside. In 1990, the National Cancer Institute designated UPCI as a Comprehensive Cancer Center, a distinction currently held by only 45 centers throughout the country. The elite designation was renewed in August of 2015. In 2000, Stanley M. Marks, MD, and his oncology and hematology group joined UPCI, which led to significant expansion of medical and radiation oncology clinical activities. And in 2002, Hillman Cancer Center opened on the UPMC Shadyside campus, bringing the research and clinical aspects of UPCI and UPMC CancerCenter together under one roof. It provided

Levine, MD, was in many ways a shooting star for the University of Pittsburgh. n past years, annual report readers have been greeted on page one with a thoughtful column by Arthur S. Levine, MD, senior vice chancellor for the health sciences and John and Gertrude Petersen Dean of the School of Medicine. However, this year is not a typical year because Dr. Levine will step down from his leadership positions, once his successor arrives in June 2020 (see below). So, in lieu of his column, the annual report leads off with the story of Dr. Levine’s tenure, Iencapsulating quite a journey for him and for the University of Pittsburgh In addition, the report is packed with news emanating from the School of Medicine and the achievements of its students and faculty. All is worthy of reflection. Anticipation n January 7, 2020, Anantha Shekhar, MD, PhD, a nationally recognized educator, researcher, and entrepreneur with major contributions in medicine and life sciences, was named senior vice chancellor for the health sciences and John and Gertrude Petersen Dean of the School of Medicine.

The operating rate has risen in recent weeks to 57-58 percent, above last year's 48.4 percent but still well below breakeven. Order books remain weak, and many in the industry believe that demand is going to plateau at about the current level for most of the remainder of 1983. If this happens1 steel unemployment will remain above 100,000 and financial losses will continue. The industry lost $3.3 billion last year, a record, and sees little hope of breaking into the black before next year. In the meantime, necessary investment has had to be postponed. The industry, which estimates that it must invest $6-7 billion a year to modernize, will spend only $1.5 billion this year on plant and equipment. If the pace of modernization does not accelerate, substantial plant closures and company failures are likely. Off Between and Investment Cash-poor and starved for sources of capital, u.s.
