Every Donation Matters

The establishment of the Marvin & Concetta Greenberg Pancreatic Cancer Institute has brought together a multidisciplinary team, utilizing philanthropic contributions to support resources that traditional grant funds cannot cover. Your donation plays a crucial role in advancing our research efforts.

Pancreatic cancer is poised to become the second leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States, yet it remains significantly under-researched. Financial support is essential to sustain our vital work. If you would like to contribute to the efforts of our Institute, donations are welcomed at donate.fox.chase.org/PancreaticCancer. You can also reach out to our Institutional Advancement Department at foxchase.org/giving or call 215-728-2745.

The following are some examples of how the team plans to use your donations:

• Establish and maintain a unified pancreatic cancer clinical and research database, integrating comprehensive clinical, genetic, geographic, dietary and more, as well as treatment data with a large collection of biological samples and patient-derived xenografts.

• Develop an informatics infrastructure to create standardized protocols for clinical data collection, implementing a Pancreatic Cancer Clinical Pathway to streamline patient evaluation and treatment assessments, and enhancing access to clinical trials.

• Implement procedures for rapid tissue and blood collection for genetic and other biological testing, prioritizing the needs of pancreatic cancer patients.

• Support efforts to identify high-risk families and integrate Fox Chase’s early detection program, with clinical research as well as basic and population science initiatives.

• Conduct clinical trials with medical, biological, and population scientific research goals to ensure a continuous supply of innovative treatment options and a wholistic approach.

• Continue supporting our administrative core personnel. This way, your support enables us to continue our mission of advancing pancreatic cancer research and improving patient outcomes. Thank you for considering a donation to the Marvin & Concetta Greenberg Pancreatic Cancer Institute.
