Uncovering molecular targets for childhood cancer therapeutics

byOffice

Amplification of the gene MYCN is a well-characterized genetic alteration in NB and is directly associated with advanced disease and poor prognosis. Besides MYCN amplification, several other genome alterations in NB have been reported. Notably, deletion of the long arm of chromosome 11 (11q deletion) is one of the most frequent events in aggressive neuroblastoma.

Our Kids

This is our buddy Darin. Darin is a great kid with lots of spunk and energy. Darin is battling neuroblastoma and has had some complications lately. We know that he's tough though and that he'll get through this.

Sammy's Superheroes Foundation is about honoring our little fighters and angels. Our fighters are those who are fighting or survived childhood cancer. Our angels are those who lost their battle. Our goal is to find better treatments and a cure for cancer so we no longer have to add to our angels and help make the quality of life for our survivors much better.

$100 from 100 Campaign

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and we are looking for 100 businesses to donate at least $100 in the month! You can donate in the honor of a little fighter or angel, but help us find a cure to this horrible disease!
