About
The specific purposes of the Organization are to raise awareness of and support for research into rare cancers, and to directly support patients facing rare cancers. This was accomplished in the fiscal year by providing new research grants and through other programs. $35,000 to support Nabeel Bardeesy's cholangiocarcinoma research at the Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center, representing the final payment on a $140,000 commitment started in the prior fiscal year. This support marked the eighth year of an ongoing commitment to creating a comprehensive cholangiocarcinoma research program the Bardeesy lab. This commitment focuses funding on the key areas of facilitating the creation and preservation of cell lines and other research models, identifying genetic drivers of cholangiocarcinoma, and translating discoveries into new treatments for patients. $50,000 in support of esophageal cancer research by Adam Bass, MD at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. This funding represents the second half of a $100,000 total grant, the first of which was paid in the prior fiscal year. This grant supports research in modeling and targeting chromosomal instability in esophageal adenocarcinoma.$16,000 towards a Conquer Cancer Foundation Young Investigator Grant, supporting an early-career researcher focused on studying cholangiocarcinoma. This grant, in the total amount of $64,000, was funded in collaboration with three other cholangiocarcinoma-focused advocacy organizations.
