The Cancer Research Alliance is a non-profit organization made up of 11 of the top cancer research institutions in the United States. The organization fights all cancers and is working to develop new therapies and protocols across the board including therapies that more precisely target any cancer without damaging surrounding tissue; treatments that are tailored to a patient’s molecular profile; and vaccines that teach the body’s immune system to seek out cancer cells and destroy them with little to no side effects.

Join Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Cancer Research Alliance this holiday season and give something more powerful than presents…give hope. For more information, contact Carol Jefferson.
