Cancer strikes about one in three women and one in two men in the U.S. The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2008 there will be over 1.4 million new cancer cases. Survival rates improve dramatically through early detection and treatment, where Canary Foundation's work is focused. Currently, less than 15 percent of research funding goes into early detection, though early intervention is far more effective than late stage treatment. 100 percent of donations to the Canary Foundation go to early detection research activities.

About Canary Foundation

Named after the "early detection" role canaries once played by alerting coal miners of hazardous fumes, Canary Foundation is the nation's only nonprofit organization devoted exclusively to the early detection of cancer. While almost $10 billion is spent annually on cancer research in the United States, the vast majority is allocated to developing new cancer treatments and caring for patients. Surprisingly, little funding is available to researchers investigating new ways to prevent cancer, or to detect it at its earliest, curable stages. Canary Foundation provides funding to researchers who are engaged in developing cancer early detection technologies and protocols. Specifically, Canary Foundation is supporting researchers working toward a standardized family of biomarker signatures for the effective and accurate early detection of all forms of cancer. All administrative and overhead costs are underwritten by the Listwin Family Foundation, allowing 100 percent of contributions to go to early detection research activities.
