  • Sarcoma Research Awareness and Funding

    THE PAUL TAKACS FOUNDATION FOR SARCOMA RESEARCH, A 501c(3) TAX EXEMPT ORGANIZATION RAISES BOTH AWARENESS AND CRITICAL FUNDING FOR SARCOMA RESEARCH. SARCOMAS CURRENTLY REPRESENTS APPROXIMATELY 1% OF ADULT AND 15% OF CHILDHOOD CANCERS, AND THEREFORE LACK THE LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT FUNDING THAT OTHER MORE PREVALENT CANCERS OFTEN RECEIVE. IN ADDITION, THERE ARE 50 DIFFERENT TYPES OF SARCOMAS, ALL OF WHICH RESPOND DIFFERENTLY TO TREATMENT. WITH THESE STATISTICS, COUPLED WITH THE RESISTANCE THAT MANY SARCOMA TYPES DISPLAY TO TRADITIONAL CANCER TREATMENTS, THERE IS A PRESSING NEED FOR PRIVATE FUNDING TO SUPPORT THE EFFORT TOWARD MORE EFFECTIVE TREATMENTS FOR SARCOMAS.
