In November 2024, Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, with a $2 million gift from The 11 Day Power Play organization, awarded the inaugural The 11 Day Power Play Team Science Award.
What if a patient’s own immune system could cure cancer? The idea has captivated researchers for more than a century, but only recently have we begun to realize the power of “living drugs.”
The Utah study found that the risk of developing ovarian cancer is highest among women with the most severe cases of endometriosis, whether deep infiltrating or endometriomas, but “we do have to remember that ovarian cancer is overall rare,” Dr. Gaulin says.
"This could provide a fantastic opportunity for improving any given cancer treatment by making it more reliable, with drugs we already have in place and simply need to repurpose from one disease to another."
A one-of-a-kind software tool, developed by Roswell Park, speeds the research process by sorting through data at astonishing speeds, even organizing information based on key patient characteristics, habits or demographics.
“Working at Roswell Park offers me the opportunity to combine my research skills with clinical work, especially with patients suffering from AML."
What if doctors were able to identify, with a simple blood test, when a patient’s cancer was starting to make a return? Or that a person’s disease was so well treated it would not return?
Did you know you can help influence cancer research without having to go through medical school?
“Roswell Park is at the forefront of research on gastroesophageal cancer, and these studies are aiming to improve the efficacy of chemotherapy, immunotherapy and radiation in patients.”
For these college students, it was their first opportunity to take their education out of the classroom and get a feel for what a career in medicine and research might look like.
In May, National Cancer Research Month, we reflect on the ways we can continue to shake off cancer’s grasp by pioneering advancements in prevention, detection and treatment.
