Memorial lecture to the 100th anniversary of the birth of Professor Yu.I. Lorie

Abstract

In 2022, the 100th anniversary of the birth of Professor Yu.I. Lorie was celebrated. Yuri Ivanovich Lorie is a talented Russian internal medicine specialist and hematologist, a wonderful teacher, and a person of great personal charm. Yu.I. Lorie is the founder of a new direction of hematology in Russia – oncohematology – and the establisher of a school based on deep knowledge and understanding of the oncological principles of hematological malignancies. Yuri Ivanovich Lorie lived a short (only 54 years) but bright life, utterly devoted to Russian medicine. He left a great legacy – a modern, rapidly developing direction in Russian medicine and a school of students who successfully continued the work he started. Looking back at the scientific and practical activities of Yu.I. Lorie and those emotional scientific debates that his colleagues and students remember, it becomes clear how many modern trends in the understanding of oncogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of hematological malignancies this legendary scientist established.
