The Bonnie J. Addario Lung Cancer Foundation

Cancer treatment is proceeding rapidly towards the era of individualized medicine, where decisions regarding treatment are based on the individual molecular characteristics of each patient’s tumor. This will require detailed knowledge of the host genetic background as well as of the somatic genetic events that characterize each patient’s tumor. We also need to find ways to develop combinatorial targeted therapies to eradicate this disease, as no single drug is likely to provide permanent cures.

The Bonnie J. Addario Lung Cancer Foundation has funded various projects over the past three years totaling over 1.2 million. A complete listing of our grants and services is below. We thank each and every one of you, our donors, and our researchers who work tirelessly toward our goal to increase the survival rate for Lung Cancer as soon as possible.
