The mission of the Prevent Cancer Foundation is cancer prevention and early detection through research, education and community outreach to all populations,

including children and the underserved.

2008 ANNUAL REPORT 1

Dear Friends,I am pleased to share with you the 2008 Annual Report

of the Prevent Cancer Foundation. It’s been 23 years since Istarted the Foundation in memory of my father, Edward P.Richardson. During that time, we have continued to bring themessage of cancer prevention to a place of prominence withinthe cancer community and among the general public.

I am proud to say that, with your support, we haveremained constant to our mission: Cancer prevention and early detection through research, education and communityoutreach to all populations, including children and the underserved.

Since its inception, the Foundation has provided morethan $106 million in support of cancer prevention research,

education and outreach programs nationwide. All of these efforts play a pivotal role in developing a body of knowledge that is the basis for life-saving prevention and early detection strategies.

You helped make all this work possible in the moment you decided to support theFoundation. Your support, combined with others, helped many young scientists launch careers incancer prevention research, helped to educate families about how to reduce their risk of colorectalcancer, helped farmers get screened at state fairs and helped victims of Hurricane Katrina havemammograms. These people went on to become advocates, raising cancer awareness among many others. In that way, you have contributed to improving the lives of thousands, if not millions,of people.

We hope you agree that the theme of this year’s annual report, Cascades, is an ideal way tothink of those small moments that have now grown to effect monumental changes.

Sincerely,

Carolyn R. AldigéPresident and Founder

RESEARCH EDUCATION OUTREACH

2 PREVENT CANCER FOUNDATION

LIFE-SAVING RESEARCH ■ LIFE-SAVING RESEARCH

rants like these from the PreventCancer Foundation are a lifelinefor young investigators juststarting out,” says research

grant recipient, Raymond Konger, Ph.D. “It’s important to maintain that pipeline of developing new researchers, especially now as we’re turning the corner on under-standing how cancer forms and how to prevent it.”

This grant from the Foundation is astepping stone for Dr. Konger’s medicalresearch that begins in a laboratory butcould lead to a finding that helps skin cancer survivors.

Because many people don’t regularly protect their skin from harmful sun rays and tanning bedlights, more than one million men, women and children are diagnosed with skincancer annually. Research has shown that once you’ve had skin cancer, you’remore likely to get it again. But Dr. Konger, assistant professor of pathology and laboratorymedicine at Indiana University, Indianapolis wants to help reduce the risk of recurring skin cancers.

According to Dr. Konger’s studies, the protein PPAR-gamma (PPARG) is activated by the sun’s ultraviolet light. Once activated, PPARG subsequently activates COX-2, a protein known to promote cancer development in skin and other tissues.

Dr. Konger’s research investigates the ability of drugs to alter both PPARG and COX-2 activation to determine whether a combined chemopreventive strategy may be more effectiveagainst non-melanoma skin cancer formation. This intricate alteration could potentially limit an individual’s risk for developing skin cancer in the future. His findings would be especially importantfor individuals whose immune systems have been suppressed, such as transplant patients andpatients with HIV.

Thanks to funding from the Prevent Cancer Foundation and Dr. Konger’s research prowess, a medical discovery now could lead to a multitude of survivors in the future. ■


Saving Skin Cancer Survivors Raymond Konger, Ph.D.

“G


ne study says one thing. Another says theexact opposite. As information mounts, so can the conflicting data. Contradictoryresults between research studies in the

medical realm are not only confusing to patients, theycan harm them. In order to resolve these discrepancies,more research is needed, not less, to better understandthe subtlety of disease.

In that vein, the Prevent Cancer Foundation hasawarded a research grant to help clarify the murky watersof the effects of folate, a vitamin, on colorectal cancer.

“Although many factors for colorectal cancer havebeen discovered, there are many things that we do notknow,” says Jung Eun Lee, Sc.D, research fellow andgrant awardee at Brigham and Women’s Hospital inBoston. Dr. Lee is hoping to shed some light on the controversial topic – does folate reduce the risk of colon cancer or worsen a colon cancer prognosis?

Folate is readily consumed by the public. We naturally eat it when we enjoy green leafy vegetablesand citrus fruits. Plus, in order to prevent many healthproblems and birth defects, the Food and Drug

Administration requires folic acid, the synthetic form of folate, to be added to certain foods, such as cereal grains. While these requirements might help individuals with folate deficiencies, some evidence questions if folic acid fortification helps patients with cancerous lesions.

Lee hopes to clarify the benefits and drawbacks of folic acid at different stages of cancer. While not getting enough folic acid is thought to increase the risk of colorectalcancer and pre-cancerous polyps, some studies have found that an increase infolic acid in the later stages of cancer could be harmful.

Lee’s studies will use data from dietary intake questionnaires to measure the dosage and timingof folic acid. She will examine the effects of taking the vitamin during different stages of cancer tobetter understand when the vitamin is helpful and when it makes things worse.

As Lee says, there are many unknown cancer risk factors. But, clarifying the contradictingresearch could help prevent cancer.

“Thus, the Foundation’s research support fosters development of cancer prevention strategies,”Lee says, “and it may eventually reduce the global cancer burden.” ■


Clarifying Conflicting Data Jung Lee, Sc.D.

O



ust beginning her research in thefield of cancer prevention, JoelleHillion ,Ph.D., has opened her mindwide to consider all possibilities,

including green tea, as a tool for preventinguterine cancer. As a research fellow at JohnsHopkins University, she thinks the 2008 grantfrom Prevent Cancer will help to propel hercareer and the progress of her research.

“I think it’s very encouraging,” Hillionsays. “I feel rewarded for receiving the grantwhen I have not been in this field for long.The Prevent Cancer Foundation grant couldhelp me move ahead in my career and shouldadvance the field of cancer prevention; that’svery important, and I’m very grateful.”

Hillion’s research involves studying the HGMA1 protein and its relationship with the developmentof uterine cancer. Using green tea extracts or COX-2 inhibitors, the research aims to modify theprotein’s effects and ultimately prevent uterine cancer.

Preliminary data showed that a COX-2 inhibitor blocked uterine cancer progression in mice.Preliminary findings also suggest that a compound from green tea extractcalled ECGC could block uterine cancer growth. Hillion’s studies will extendthese findings and look at two COX-2 inhibitors and the green tea extract to see if they canblock HGMA1’s downstream pathways from forming a tumor.

The study, funded by Prevent Cancer, will improve our understanding of how uterine cancerdevelops. These experiments are based on a mouse model, but if Hillion successfully identifiescompounds to prevent uterine cancer in mice, clinical trials could then test the compounds inpatients.

Prevention is exactly what Hillion aims to do with her research grant. “If grants focus on treating cancer, I think they are not approaching the problem directly,” she

says. “Preventing cancer is very important, and these types of grants open new ways of thinking.” ■

Life-Saving Research Funded by Prevent Cancer

he National Cancer Institute funds lessthan one in six good research proposalsand this dismal rate is causing many scientists to give up. “They are losing

faith in the system and either turning to alternativecareers or increasingly moving to other countrieswhere science is more highly valued and support-ed,” says Robert Young, M.D., Chancellor of FoxChase Cancer Center. The Prevent CancerFoundation understands the frustration of Americanscientists and is rushing to help them continueinvestigations into cancer prevention and earlydetection with research grants and fellowships.

The Foundation is reaching young studentswith valuable cancer prevention educationthrough Project Early Awareness. This programin Washington, D.C., public high schools and has reached more than 2,800 female high schoolstudents with valuable breast health informationsince its inception in 2000. In addition, over 1,800boys have participated in simultaneous cancerprevention sessions. The program continues toencourage students to share the message of early detection with family members and caregivers, thus expanding the reach of the program exponentially. ■

The Prevent Cancer Foundation is nowenabling youth groups nationwide to teach youngwomen about the importance of breast health.The Breast Health Education for Young WomenDVD and Facilitator’s Guide are designed toincrease teenage girls’ knowledge about breastcancer and encourage their commitment to good,lifelong breast-health habits. The 14-minute educational video and guide were developed inpartnership with the Howard University CancerCenter for use in interactive education sessions.Published in February and available on the PreventCancer Web site, these educational materialsinclude facts about breast cancer, a demonstrationof breast self-exam, critical thinking exercises, survivor stories and messages to advocate forone’s health. Now, urban schools and communitygroups across the country can teach girls to develop

breast health habits that will help them reduce theirrisk of breast cancer for years to come. ■

In 2008, the Prevent Cancer Foundationlaunched its first new public service announcementcampaign in 16 years. The first two announcementsaddress colorectal cancer and skin cancer. Theywere developed under the guidance of theFoundation’s Medical Advisory Board members.These key messages were also created in conjunctionwith a new initiative launched by C-Change – a consortium comprised of the nation’s key cancerleaders, including Foundation President CarolynAldigé – which encourages cancer organizations tounite on their messages to the public. The PreventCancer Foundation not only embraced this effort tocommunicate consistently to the public, but choseto showcase it in the new campaign. ■

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancerdeath throughout the world. As global tobaccoconsumption grows, there is an urgent need forscreening tools for early detection and more targeted treatment options. The Foundation’s fifth annual Lung Cancer Workshop, Applicationof High Resolution CT Imaging Data to LungCancer Drug Development: Measuring Progress,convened in April to evaluate advances in usingspiral CT scanning to assess more quickly whethera new treatment is effective. The annual workshopbrings together leaders in the field of early lungcancer detection from across the country. The outcome of this year’s meeting demonstrated thatbetter use of these tools can improve the detectionand treatment of lung cancer at earlier stages. ■

The Foundation held its 10th Annual Dialoguefor Action in Colorectal Cancer Screening:Moving Forward Despite a Broken Health CareSystem event. The conference attracted 192prominent leaders involved in the spectrum ofcolorectal cancer education, screening and treat-ment. Conference attendees identified three tophealth care reform recommendations that theywanted relayed to policy makers and legislators,

so that preventive services will be included inhealth care reform.

1. Reimburse primary care providers for evidence-based preventive services.

2. Establish an incentives program for patientsto complete preventive screening examsand participate in healthy behaviors, inaddition to incentive programs for employers.

3. Support HR 1738: The Colorectal CancerPrevention, Early Detection, and TreatmentAct. ■

The Foundation also used this opportunity tohonor three outstanding contributors to the causeof early detection and prevention. Anita Mitchell, a colorectal cancer survivor from the state ofWashington, was awarded the Cancer PreventionLaurel for Advocacy. Claudia R. Baquet, M.D.,M.P.H., from the University of Maryland School ofMedicine, was awarded the Cancer PreventionLaurel for National Leadership.

t was an influential year for the Prevent Cancer Foundation and for President and Founder, Carolyn Aldigé. In addition to theFoundation’s efforts to reduce cancer risk across the nation, the message of cancer prevention and early detection took center

stage around the world as Aldigé spoke to a variety of audiences about issues related to cancer prevention and early detection.

In September 2007 Aldigé was in Seoul to serve on a panel thataddressed participation in clinical trials for lung cancer at the biennialmeeting of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer.Then later that same month, she was asked to give two talks at the First

Asia-Pacific Consensus Meeting on Colorectal Cancer Screening in Hong Kong. In addition, Aldigé wasinvited to speak about barriers to screening at a conference “Colorectal Cancer in Europe,” sponsored by the Czech Society of Gastroenterology and the International Digestive Cancer Alliance in Prague.

Finally, we were all pleased to learn that the Prevent Cancer/George Washington UniversityMammovan was used as a model for a similar program in Romania. Mihaela Geoana, spouse of the former Ambassador of Romania to the United States, raised funds and established the program in her home country after touring the Mammovan during the time she lived in Washington, D.C.

MAKING A DIFFERENCEThe Prevent Cancer Foundation has worked

closely with Members of the 110th Congress andthe advocacy community to advance legislationand awareness among lawmakers on cancer prevention issues. Priorities have includedincreasing the Federal budget for cancerresearch, improving access to preventivescreenings, advancing embryonic stem cellresearch and ensuring a strong infrastructurefor clinical trials.

The Foundation worked with champions inthe Senate to draft comprehensive cancer legisla-tion and has worked with Presidential hopefulsto raise the visibility of cancer prevention in theirplatforms and in the minds of the electorate. We educated legislators about the importance of access to cancer screenings through briefingson cervical cancer prevention and colorectal cancer screening, and through our CongressionalFamilies Cancer Prevention Program. We alsomotivated members of our growing AdvocacyAction Center through action alerts and our advocacy Web site to ensure that lawmakersunderstand that cancer prevention is top of mind for their constituents. ■

The Children’s NationalMedical Center’s Northern Virginia outpatientclinic joined the Georgetown University LombardiCancer Center and the Children’s NationalMedical Center in Washington, D.C. to offer thisunique healing experience. Under the guidanceof trained art therapists, young cancer patientsand their families find a safe, comfortable andengaging environment to deal with the emotionalstress and trauma of cancer. In and out of the hos-pital, Tracy’s Kids enables them to share their feel-ings and gain a sense of control during a timewhen everything else seems to be spinning out ofcontrol. Tracy’s Kids also helps kids lead activeand fulfilling lives once they are cancer free. ■

DONATE A CAROur car donation partner, Cars4Charities,

picks up cars nationwide. It’s an excellent way tohelp the foundation continue funding research,education and outreach programs nationwide.

hrough the generous support of its donors over the last 23 years, the Prevent Cancer Foundationhas been able to provide more than $106 million in support of cancer prevention research, education and outreach programs nationwide. This support has played a pivotal role in developing a body of knowledge that is the basis for important prevention and early detection

strategies. More than 12 million cancer survivors are living proof of the value of cancer research and education. But with more than 1.4 million new cases diagnosed and an estimated 565,000 deaths fromcancer this year alone, clearly much more needs to be accomplished. There are a variety of ways in whichyou can support the Foundation’s work.
