According to the American Institute of Cancer Research, cancer costs reach $895 billion annually – costing more money than any other disease in the world. Cancer is the second-leading cause of death in the U.S. killing more than half a million Americans each year.

From molecular biosciences to advanced clinical trials and commercialization of drug therapies, Indiana’s universities are leading the charge to prevent cancer and to find a cure. In this Frameworx session, we will hear from leading researchers at Indiana University, Purdue University and University of Notre Dame who are working on innovative and novel solutions to improve diagnostic and therapeutic treatment of patients with cancer.
