CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments
| Cancer knows no boundaries of age, gender or race and as our population ages the number of survivors living with the after effects of cancer treatment rises. Breakthroughs in our understanding of cancer is driving new treatments with less devastating side effects from highly toxic cancer treatments. The Scott Hamilton CARES Foundation supports research that accelerates the advancement of less toxic treatments for isolated cancers and tumors with precision proton beam therapy and prevention of the spread of cancer with targeted immunotherapy drugs. |
