A generous supporter has issued a challenge: If we raise $125,000 in individual donations by the end of this year, he will donate $250,000 to neuroendocrine cancer research! That means for every dollar donated, three dollars will go directly to funding critical research. Donate today so you don't miss this rare opportunity to triple the impact of your gift! |

Cycle for Survival to Support Personalized Medicine
 With funds raised by Team CFCF's Cycle for Survival riders, Diane Reidy-Lagunes, MD, and her team will use both molecular and radiologic approaches to develop biomarkers to personalize care for patients with neuroendocrine tumors. In particular, Dr. Reidy will focus on biomarkers to predict patient response to targeted therapies.
Dr. Reidy-Lagunes is a medical oncologist who specializes in treating patients with neuroendocrine tumors and gastrointestinal malignancies. Her research focuses on developing methods to integrate molecular-based, targeted therapies into the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors, as well as designing and conducting clinical trials to improve treatment options for patients with neuroendocrine tumors.
