Sve~ana akademija - Drustvo Srbije za borbu protiv raka

su utkane desetine hiqada sudbina
obolelih i le~enih od raka, wihovih
porodica i onih koji su ih le~ili i o
wima brinuli.
Mislim da poruka iz Poveqe koja je
polo`ena u temeqe zgrade u Pasterovoj
14. u kojoj je Institut sme{ten, jasno govori
o tome.
„Neka pomognut pomo}u bo`jom,
znawem, nesebi~nom predano{}u sviju
koji }e raditi u wemu ispuni sva o~ekivawa
wegovih stvaralaca i celog jugoslovenskog
naroda.
Neka ovaj zavod bude mesto istine,
qubavi i ~ove~nosti i neka wegovi
stvaraoci, nadahnuti qubavqu prema
bli`wem, imaju veru u one koji }e u tom
zavodu delati i neka u ovom zavodu na|u
leka i utehe oni kojima je namewena.”
Imena pregalaca koji su se predano
tokom prethodnih deset godina borili sa
opakom bole{}u osta}e u se}awu i srcima
onih koje su le~ili. Mnoga imena bi}e
zapisana zlatnim slovima u nauci i struci
a mnoga }e vreme neumitno prebrisati,
dav{i im neadekvatnu ocenu.
Ovom prilikom suzdr`a}emo se od
pomiwawa bilo kog imena, kako bismo
izbegli i najmawu verovatno}u da nekog
povredimo. Onkolo{ka era zapo~iwe u
Srbiji izuzetno `ivom aktivno{}u
nadle`nih iz Ministarstva zdravqa,
Srpskog lekarskog dru{tva, Medicinskog
fakulteta, Jugoslovenskog dru{tva za
izu~avawe i suzbijawe raka. Agilno{}u
istaknutih ~lanova medicinske zajednice
objavqena je 1930. Rezolucija Srpskog
lekarskog dru{tva o potrebi formirawa
instituta za izu~avawe, le~ewe i suzbijawe
raka.
Pro{lo je od tada skoro deset godina
kada su se sklopile okolnosti koje }e
dovesti do po~etka izgradwe namenske
zgrade. Godine 1939. 24 septembra osve-
{tani su temeqi Zavoda kneza Pavla za
izu~avawe i suzbijawe raka. Taj datum je
odre|en za dan Instituta za onkologiju i
radiologiju Srbije. Weno kraqevsko
veli~anstvo Marija i wegovo kraqevsko
viso~anstvo knez namesnik Pavle osigurali
su materijalna sredstva za izgradwu
ove ustanove. Izgradwu je prekinuo rat, a
dovr{ena je po wegovom zavr{etku.

beginning. It is a history where destinies of
tens of thousands of cancer patients treated
during the past 80 years are intertwined, a
history of their families and the ones who
treated them and took care of them.
I believe that the message from the
Charter which was laid in the foundations of
the building in 14 Pasteur Street, where the
Institute is found, clearly explains it:
"Let it, by God's help, knowledge,
unselfish commitment of all who shall work
in it, fulfill the expectations of its creators
and the whole Yugoslav nation.
Let this Institute be a place of truth, love
and humanity, and let its creators, imbued
with love for close ones, have faith in those
who shall work in this Institute, and let the
ones in need find in this Institute remedy and
comfort."
The names of zealous workers who fought
in the recent ten years with this pernicious
disease shall stay in memories and hearts of
the ones they cured. Names of many a scientist
and expert shall be written in gold, while
others shall be mercilessly deleted in time
with a poor grade.
On this occasion we will not mention any
names to avoid even the slightest probability
of hurting someone. The oncological era in
Serbia began with an exceptionally vivid
activity of the competent Ministry of Health,
Serbian Medical Society, Medical School,
Yugoslav Society for the Study and
Treatment of Cancer. Thanks to endeavors
of distinguished members of the medical
community, Resolution of the Serbian
Medical Society on the need of establishing
an institute for the study, treatment and control
of cancer was published in 1930.
After nearly ten years, circumstances
finally enabled beginning of construction of
such a building. On September 24, 1939,
foundation stones of the Institute of Knez
(Prince) Pavle for Study and Treatment of
Cancer were blessed. This is the Day of the
Institute of Oncology and Radiology of
Serbia. Her Royal Highness Marija and His
Royal Highness Prince-Regent Pavle provided
funds for construction of this institution.
Construction was interrupted by war, and it
was finished when the war ended.
At the end of fifties of the last century, the
building in 14 Pasteur Street included:
