If current trends continue, one in four Americans alive today will ultimately die of cancer.  Each day in the U.S., approximately 3,300 people are diagnosed and 1,500 people die from this complex disease. And, there are an estimated 9 million cancer survivors in the U.S. They are your family, your colleagues, and your friends.

The heartening news is that science is saving more people. Recently, cancer death rates have dropped about 1% each year. The hard reality is that many, many more could be saved -- but are not.

This is why SynCure exists!

SynCure is committed to turning leading-edge science into new treatments and cures for cancer and to educating the public about the many advances being made. These aims are crucial because:

• Cancer is not one disease but many complex diseases; the best therapies may be those targeted to a specific cancer type!
  
• The process from discovery to clinical approval is very costly -- and much too slow!
  
• Promising cancer therapies are left on-hold and under-funded; they never get past the lab door due to cost constraints!
  
• With exciting scientific advancements, the opportunities for saving lives have never been greater!
  
  

With your help, we can get these discoveries to people in need faster.
