More than a Quarter of External Funding at the NorthShore University HealthSystem Research Institute Supports Research to Prevent Cancer, Detect it Earlier and Develop More Effective Treatments

Visionary leadership by Janardan Khandekar, MD, has built a nationally recognized program in cancer research.  Research is underway on prevention strategies for breast, colon, ovarian and prostate cancer and improved treatments for lymphoma.  Clinical trials in thoracic oncology span the continuum from screening and early detection through new treatments for advanced disease.

The NorthShore University HealthSystem Research Institute has a very well-defined strategy focusing on specific areas of specialization and concentrating on the kind of studies that bring the most direct benefit to patients. This organization is such a gift to the community; I know as others learn more about the caliber of research here they will feel as I do.
