'MAKING THE IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE'
HOPE

Stand Up To Cancer came at a very critical time. Everyone was siloed and sharing data was a very difficult thing. Now we can credibly say 'it's a collaborative effort'. Dream teams, immunotherapy, convergance, innovative approachs, technologies and genetics, precision medicine, pharma, clinical trials, interception...HOPE. Stand Up To Cancer really allows us to take chances and they are okay with not all the ideas working to get that special one that's going to make a huge difference. The world cancer started in 1971. We did not think we had the tools to cure cancer. What's actually changed? EVERYTHING. Cancer doesn't need to be that death sentence that we used to think 10 years ago. It's scientists, it's technologists, it's advocates, it's patients...we're ALL working together. Stand Up To Cancer has made team science the norm. And that's why Stand Up To Cancer is out there shouting 'NOW NOW NOW!' ARE YOU STANDING YET?
NEW EVERY DAY , NEW IDEAS, NEW INSIGHTS, NEW DISCOVERIES
Amazing arsonal of diverse weaponry: - quantitative ways of thinking, targeted therapies, combination therapy, tumour micro-environment, bioinformatics, geonomics...LET'S MAKE THE IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE.
Stand Up To Cancer started the revolution but it's an evolving revolution. There's no turning back.
The fight against cancer...is a fight for more time.
