The Cancer and Leukemia Group B Foundation is a nonprofit, tax-exempt foundation that helps the Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) answer important treatment questions through large-scale clinical trials. Through efforts of the CALGB Foundation in support of CALGB clinical trials and laboratory research, donors can help find new ways to prevent, treat and cure many types of cancer, including leukemia and lymphoma, and cancers of the breast, prostate, lung and GI tract, and help educate the medical community on methods of cancer diagnosis, treatment and prevention.
Here are some recent initiatives supported by the CALGB Foundation:
- New chemotherapy treatments for breast, prostate, lung and colorectal cancer.
- New surgical techniques for breast and colon cancer.
- Genetic studies of breast cancer risk.
