* The Frenchman’s Creek Women’s Golf Association has contributed $910,157 to these research programs from 1999-2008. Today, advances in
cancer research and treatments are increasing survival
rates and quality of
life for those touched by cancer. To defeat cancer, our
researchers at the
Cancer Research Institute, a part of MD Anderson –
Orlando, are turning
research results into therapies or preventives, proving
their effectiveness in
the clinic and then educating healthcare professionals
about these latest
advances.
Great cancer research
relies heavily on philanthropic support to attract worldclass
research scientists.
This is where we will find our answers. This benefits
the 5,000 new patients
that seek care at MD Anderson – Orlando every year,
in addition to cancer
patients from around the world. The future ultimately
rests with
philanthropists, like those involved with WPFT, who understand
and share our vision.
