Since 2006
Fighting pancreatic cancer, in his honor.
We work with the Hirshberg Foundation and UCLA to fund seed-grant researchers searching for an early test for pancreatic cancer, and we share clear, impartial information for patients and families.
“This foundation is dedicated to finding a cure for pancreatic cancer in honor of Mario R. Alvarez, Sr., and the thousands of people who are diagnosed with this disease each year.”
Our mission
Impartial information, responsible care.
Our goal is to be a gathering point for the latest news and information about responsible medical care in the treatment of cancer, so patients and families can understand the range of options, build strong partnerships with their doctors, and choose the treatment that is right for them.
Help fund the search for an early test.
Gifts by check, pledge, employer match, vehicle or bequest support seed grants for pancreatic cancer research.
