“Dana-Farber Cancer Institute will announce the largest hospital fund-raising campaign in New England history today, hoping to raise $1 billion to turn the rapidly growing scientific understanding of cancer into better treatments for cancer patients. The money will also create a more patient-friendly medical center, including a 13-floor tower that will greatly expand the number of patients who can be treated on Dana-Farber’s cramped 3.3-acre campus. The campaign is occurring at a time when important breakthroughs such as the Human Genome Project and targeted cancer drugs are raising hope that medicine may finally be getting the upper hand against the nation’s second-leading killer. For the second year in a row, fewer people died from cancer in 2004 than the year before.” (01/31/07)
