Turn Cancer Off, Eradicating Cancer at Its Core

The Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation (SWCRF) was founded in 1976 by Samuel Waxman, M.D., a notable oncologist and physician-scientist at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Since its inception, the SWCRF has funded more than $100 million in cancer research. SWCRF is dedicated to eradicating cancer through the funding of collaborative, cross-institutional research to identify and correct abnormal gene functions that cause cancer. This research is the basis for developing minimally toxic treatments for all patients with cancer.
