Why we Golf, Ride, and ask for your Support
Brain cancer is a highly aggressive and incurable disease,
often striking without warning and, with its short
survival rate, it makes it difficult to conduct research
and long-term clinical trials.
Glioblastoma is especially difficult to treat because
glial cells penetrate the brain, spreading like a spider
web. Even when the malignancy is cut away, cancer cells
remain at the edges of the tumor and are virtually
impossible to distinguish from normal brain tissue.
Inevitably, they grow, and the cancer returns.
These events support brain cancer research at the
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute where we have helped fund six
valuable research projects to date. With your
support, we can continue to fund exceptional brain cancer
research and make amazing discoveries in this field.
Standard protocol treatment only works for 30 percent of
patients. By supporting large brain tumor centers
that engage in cutting edge research and have a large
number clinical trials available, patients and their
families can get the best care for their particular
tumor's molecular structure.
We ask for your support so that we can continue to educate
and raise awareness regarding brain cancer and treatment
options.
