Solving the puzzle of cancer
Backing innovation for over 50 years
Gliomas can occur in the brain and in various locations in the nervous system, including the brain stem and spinal column. Some tumors, after several months, become treatment resistant. TCF researchers are looking at the mechanisms behind this resistance.
Our researchers are exploring different avenues to potentially more effective breast cancer treatments through hormone identification, radiation and immunotherapies, and the isolation of gene markers.
The relationship between irritable bowel disease and cancer has complicated treatment for patients. Our researchers are clarifying the approach.
Blood cancers can be very resistant to treatment. Our researchers are tackling some of the basic science behind some of the genetic markers in order to find better treatments.
Our researchers are finding breakthroughs in the treatment of these lymphatic system cancers that show promise for solid tumors as well.
We are backing basic research into the complex interactions and molecular pathways behind leukemia in both adults and children.
Exploring how the immune system does and doesn’t respond when there are genetic variations can help identify effective treatments in the future.
