9th annual fundraising event for Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation: Bridgehampton, NY
Cancer is one of the most debilitating diseases known to man. It affects millions of people worldwide. In addition, the thought of living with cancer hangs like a dark cloud over the heads of so many. Fortunately, there are organizations like the SAMUEL WAXMAN Cancer Research Foundation (SWCRF) that are working tirelessly to eradicate this disease. In this blog post, we’ll explore the mission and accomplishments of the SWCRF. Furthermore, we’ll see how their work is changing the world of cancer research.
The SWCRF was founded in 1976 by Samuel Waxman, M.D.. He is a notable oncologist and physician-scientist at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. At the time of its founding, Dr. Waxman was treating a young man with Hodgkin’s disease. When the young man’s uncle asked Dr. Waxman how he funded his research, he was shocked to learn that hospitals did not provide funding for researchers. This inspired Dr. Waxman to create a Foundation that would provide the necessary funding for cancer research.
Since its inception, the SWCRF has funded approximately $100 million in cancer research. Their focus is on funding cutting-edge research that uncovers cancer-causing abnormal gene function. A key goal of SWCRF is to develop minimally toxic treatments. Their goal is to correct the cancer-causing gene function associated with all forms of cancer. Their work has led to groundbreaking discoveries in the field of cancer research. In addition, identification of molecular targets for pancreatic cancer and the development of new therapies for leukemia.
The SAMUEL WAXMAN Cancer Research Foundation: Eradicating Cancer One Gene at a Time
One of the most remarkable accomplishments of SWCRF is the research collaboration they funded in China. As a result, that research led to the discovery of a treatment for a form of leukemia. Furthermore, prior to this discovery, the patient survival rate for this form of leukemia was less than 25%. However, thanks to the research funded by the SWCRF, the patient survival rate has increased to greater than 95%. This is a true testament to the impact that the SWCRF is having on the world of cancer research.
In addition to their work in cancer research, the SWCRF also hosts an annual benefit called “The Hamptons Happening,”. This is a star-studded gala that raises funds for cancer research. Furthermore, the event has attracted the likes of Alec Baldwin, Christie Brinkley, and Jon Bon Jovi, among others. The SWCRF also hosts a variety of educational events and seminars to raise awareness about cancer. In addition, the impact of cancer on individuals and families.
Minimally toxic treatments
The SAMUEL WAXMAN Cancer Research Foundation is an organization that is making a significant impact in the fight against cancer. Their focus on funding cutting-edge research that uncovers cancer-causing abnormal gene function is truly groundbreaking. Their work has led to numerous discoveries in the field of cancer research. The SWCRF’s mission to develop minimally toxic treatments. The goal is correcting the cancer-causing gene function associated with all forms of cancer is a bold and laudable goal. With continued support and funding, the SWCRF will undoubtedly continue to be at the forefront of cancer research. Their goal is to contribute to the eradication of this disease.
