What Will My Donation Do?
Encourage scientists to pursue blood cancer
research. Grants to young scientists help grow research
talent even as federal research funding becomes increasingly limited.
Develop "targeted therapies" that kill
cancer cells selectively. By hitting specific molecular targets,
these treatments don't harm patients' healthy cells, resulting in fewer
dangerous side effects.
Test immunotherapies.
Immunotherapies strengthen a patient's own immune system so it can better fight
infections and attack cancer cells, reducing the need for damaging
chemotherapy.
Improve the safety of today's cures. LLS
funds research to predict, manage and prevent complications in patients most at
risk for long-term and late effects of treatment.
Help patients and their families make informed
decisions. LLS supplies information and counseling to help
guide patients through their cancer journey and access current treatment and
clinical trial options.
Provide financial aid and co-pay assistance. A
cancer diagnosis is hard enough without having to deal with its financial
burden. We provide programs to help relieve the economic strain of a blood
cancer diagnosis.
Offer community services.
Among the wide array of programs LLS provides are those that link newly
diagnosed patients with trained volunteers and that help young cancer patients
return to school after an absence resulting from treatment.
Encourage our state and federal legislators to
support blood cancer issues. With your help, LLS brings to
the attention of lawmakers the urgent need for increased government funding and
support of research and patient access to affordable treatment and quality
care.
