About this organization
Mission
Canary Foundation is the world’s first non-profit organization dedicated solely to the funding, discovery and development of tests for early cancer detection. Identifying early stage cancers will save lives; while less than 15% of research funding goes to early detection, early intervention is far more effective than late stage treatment. The greatest advances in cancer research can be obtained by reorienting research toward earlier detection and prevention — and more lives saved.
About
Canary Scientific ProgramsCanary is the worlds only non-profit focused solely on early cancer detection. We have multidisciplinary science teams focused on blood-based biomarkers or biological fingerprints that show the presence or progress of disease. Were pairing those biomarkers with advanced imaging technologies that will help us visualize a cancer type with more sensitivity and specificity. Our clinical programs cover tumors across five cancer types: breast, lung, ovarian, pancreas, and prostate. And to further ensure our success, we funded the Canary Center at Stanford for Cancer Early Detection, a world-class facility that hopes to save lives through early detection.
