Support is needed to incorporate the latest medical advances, such as critical innovations in immunotherapies and gene therapy and research on the use of a focused ultrasound for treating complex brain tumors. Also, to meet the demand of an increased childhood patient population, funding is needed to expand several flagship programs, including blood and marrow transplantation, leukemia and lymphoma, neurooncology, sickle cell/ hemoglobinopathies, and sarcoma and solid tumors.
With your support, no child has to leave Florida to receive world-class cancer care.
