Jump. Because.

"Massey offers more clinical trials than any other cancer center in Virginia, which in turn enables us to offer more hope and new treatment options to people with all kinds of cancer. Our specialized teams focus their intellectual power on each patient. These multidisciplinary teams are organized by unique types of cancer — such as breast cancer, lung cancer or colon cancer — and they include a variety of specialists. Surgical oncologists, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists and a host of others meet each week to discuss treatment plans for each patient. This level of teamwork and communication is unparalleled, and it saves patients and their families from visiting a variety of specialists in different locations around town.
Massey is also one of the best models of a public-private partnership in Virginia, with more than 50 percent of our funding coming from private philanthropy. We appreciate the support our community gives us and, in turn, we commit ourselves to helping to prevent, control and, ultimately, to cure cancer." - Gordon D. Ginder, M.D., Director, VCU Massey Cancer Center ; taken from Massey Center Website
