Photo Gallery Doctors Strip for Cancer
"Without You Research Is Naked" is the snappy title of an unusual calendar which shows a group of Italian doctors stripped down to their underwear.
The calendar features doctors at the Pascale Foundation, a cancer research institute in Naples, in their almost bare essentials.
The black and white photographs depict the doctors going about their work, but without their clothes on. A rather surreal combination.
The doctors, like all of us, come in all shapes and sizes.
Doctor Pinto poses in his office with some colleagues. The doctors are hoping to raise funding for cancer research with their unusual calendar.
Doctor Frasci seems relaxed in fetching black undies and knee socks as he addresses his colleagues in the lab.
The researchers are shown carrying out microscope research. The calendar is designed draw attention to shortfalls in funding for research.
Even the director of the Pascale Foundation, Mario Luigi Santangelo, was a good sport and agreed to pose for the calendar.
Two doctors debate whether its better to analyse X-rays in boxers or briefs.
Santangelo looks quite different fully dressed. He is hoping the calendar will be big success.
