Our Approach

Your health information is valuable. Here’s how it helps in research.

Your health information helps improve cancer treatment.

The medicines that doctors use to treat cancer have changed a lot just in the past 10 years. For example, some new treatments can trigger your own immune system to attack cancer in your body. Other new treatments work just as well as older, proven treatments, but with less side effects.

Precision medicine is a cancer treatment tailored to the unique features of your cancer.

No two people with cancer are exactly alike. Neither are their cancer tumors.

In the past, doctors believed that cancers that began in the same place in the body, such as the lungs or the breasts, were basically the same. Today, we know that not all types of cancer are the same disease – even when they begin in the same place. We call these cancer subtypes. Some cancer subtypes grow and spread fast. Others grow slowly. Some are easy to treat, while others are not. Some react significantly to certain treatments but not at all to others.

Cancer is caused by a series of changes to a cell’s genes.

The cells in your body contain tens of thousands of genes.

Genes carry the information that control your features, like your eye color and how tall you are. These are passed on to you from your parents.

The largest research study of its kind, harnessing the power of sharing information among Member cancer centers
