A call to action. Who do you know?



Cancer project: Who do you know? Who might they know?
The Angiosarcoma research project I am advocating for has high potential to uncover the missing piece in a cure for many other cancers. Details are now disclosed on our website: http://www.angiosarcomaawareness.org/Angiosarcoma_Research.html

Who do you know? Who might they know? You might not have the resources, but you might know someone (who knows someone else) with the connection to make this happen. Your part in this can make it happen.

Broad scale implications of this research:

All solid tumors need a blood supply and recruit blood vessels through angiogenesis. In cancer, this is an aberrant process with misregulation of angiogenesis. Angiosarcoma IS aberrant angiogenesis,... if we unlock the processes that drive aberrant angiogenesis in angiosarcoma, we may be able to apply that knowledge to targeting the aberrant process in other solid tumors. The development of therapies that inhibit angiosarcoma may then be of benefit in fighting other solid tumors. In addition, the use of microRNA and methylation array platforms for studying the epigenetics of cancer is an emerging field using cutting edge technologies. This project will be at the forefront of cancer research allowing others to gain knowledge that can be applied to the overall field of cancer genomics.

If there was ever a time to call in a favor, this is it!!

Love and light,

Wendy
