The Case Cancer Council of the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center (Case CCC) was formed to promote and publicize the work of the over 400 researchers who tirelessly strive to discover new cancer treatment protocols and earlier and more effective detection tools with the ultimate goal of successfully treating cancer at its earliest possible stage. And, of course, finding a cure for cancer is always at the forefront of our work, although a daunting task.

There have been exciting developments at our center in the areas of genomics, immunology, stem cells, and drug research that place Case CCC at the forefront of cancer research among the 56 NCI-designated comprehensive cancer centers.

While the center’s collaborative partners—ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½, Cleveland Clinic, and University Hospitals—are well known and nationally respected for innovation and research in the cancer field, it is less known both locally and nationally that Case CCC is the vehicle that allows the researchers from these three institutions to work with a combined and singular purpose. No other designated cancer center has the synergistic powerhouse of member institutions that we have.

I am proud to lead the Case Cancer Council, which is composed of members of our community whom have demonstrated a special interest in supporting cancer research. We meet several times a year to discuss the impact of our researchers and to create a strategy that increases awareness of our cancer center, with the goal of raising much-needed private funding for future research needs.

Case CCC has the potential of being an economic juggernaut for northeast Ohio. The center has stimulated a number of ventures with biomedical companies that have caused our region to become a focus for bringing our research from the lab bench to patients’ bedsides. 

We hope that all with an interest in cancer research will join our leadership council in supporting Case CCC.
