Canary Foundation and Stanford University Commit $20 Million for World-Class Research Center for Cancer Early Detection

Center will be the first in the world to integrate research on both in vivo and in vitro diagnostics to deliver blood and complementary imaging tests for solid tumor cancers

June 9, 2009

John Hennessy, President of Stanford University states, "Throughout Stanford's history, we have recognized the importance of medical research and education and its role in serving the public, and today the Stanford medical community is a leader in cancer research. We are very grateful to the Canary Foundation for this gift establishing the Canary Center at Stanford for Cancer Early Detection. It will enable researchers to focus on early discovery, saving lives and benefiting many in the greater community."

"The Canary Center at Stanford for Cancer Early Detection will leverage Stanford's unique technologies and innovations in order to accelerate new and improved tools for detecting the onset of cancer," said Philip A. Pizzo, MD, dean of Stanford's School of Medicine. "Early detection can greatly increase the odds of successful cancer treatment, and I am deeply grateful to Canary Foundation and its supporters for their commitment to our shared goal - to improve cancer detection and survivorship."

Canary Foundation, named after the "early detection" role canaries once played by alerting coal miners of hazardous fumes, is the nation's only nonprofit devoted exclusively to early detection of cancer.
