Research
The Katzen Cancer Research Center Board of Directors has funded the 2013-2014 Innovative Pilot Cancer Research Grants Program. Read about the six new research grants and their potential impact on cancer.
The Dr. Cyrus and Myrtle Katzen Cancer Research Center currently sponsors clinical trials designed to advance scientific knowledge for a variety of different cancers, including cancers of the breast, kidney, lung and prostate as well as for lymphoma, multiple myeloma, myelofibrosis and myelodysplastic syndromes. We encourage all patients to consider participating in a clinical trial.
