Description of Business:

Our Mission - To advance the scientific and medical research related to the diagnosis, treatment, cure and prevention of pancreatic cancer by:

• Increasing funding and support of research into the biological mechanisms and clinical strategies related to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of pancreatic cancer;
   

• Facilitating and enhancing the dialogue among members of the medical and scientific communities about basic and clinical research efforts that relate to pancreatic cancer;
   

• Advocating an increase in the annual budget of the National Cancer Institute with emphasis on research related to pancreatic cancer; and
   

• Heightening the public's awareness of pancreatic cancer diagnosis, treatment, and prevention and providing informational support for pancreatic cancer patients, their families, and friends. 

Thanks to a commitment from Cablevision to underwrite all of The Lustgarten Foundation's administrative expenses, 100%  of every donation we receive will go directly to pancreatic cancer research.
