Despite the progress we have made, 2025 has been a year of uncertainty for cancer research. Labs across the country have faced significant reductions in federal funding. Many important research initiatives have stalled or simply stopped altogether. With your help, we can maintain and even accelerate our progress against cancer by offering a lifeline of support to both laboratories and patients.
Your gifts are essential to maintain progress against this disease and make cures possible!
We have made huge strides forward against cancer. However, the fight against cancer is far from over.
This 2025 Snapshot Includes:
> NFCR-supported technology advances in personalized treatment planning
> Highlights from our 2025 NFCR Global Summit and Award Ceremonies for Cancer Research & Entrepreneurship
> Updates on our understanding of immunotherapy-resistant cancers
& more!
We are at a crossroads right now. The gaps in funding for research labs are at critically low levels.
From Our Supporters + Scientists:
"NFCR helps us focus where focus is needed most. They convene the discussions we must be having, guiding the discoverers who are exploring uncharted ground. NFCR is the navigator."
- Ronald DePinho, M.D., former President of MD Anderson Cancer Center
“The NFCR Global Summit is a different kind of meeting, which is what makes it so impactful. It's an immersive experience. It's where top global leaders, from all areas in cancer, all brainstorm together to develop next-level new approaches and form new partnerships. The spirit of this meeting is very uplifting.”
-Drew Pardoll, MD, PhD, Johns Hopkins University
Drew Pardoll, MD, PhD"Our continuing studies to profile T cells recognizing virus-positive vs virus-negative MCCs will build on these initial findings to provide an in-depth characterization of the immune response against MCCs. We anticipate that such work may lead to enhanced therapeutics and immune monitoring tools. Please know how much NFCR funding is appreciated in support of these investigations."
- Dr. Suzanne Topalian, NFCR-Supported Scientist at Johns Hopkins University
