Making headlines is a new drug that has doubled survival rates for pancreatic cancer patients. 🔬

Daraxonrasib targets KRAS — the gene mutation behind over 90% of pancreatic cancer diagnoses that causes cells to grow out of control.

V Foundation-funded researcher Dr. Poulikos Poulikakos at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is working on the next layer of this problem: making RAS pathway inhibitors smarter and more precise, so they destroy tumors without harming healthy cells.

This is Victory Over Cancer.

June is National Cancer Survivors Month, and there is so much hope to celebrate. 🌟

Thanks to generations of cancer research, the five-year relative survival rate for all cancers combined has reached 70% for the first-time ever, up from 49% in the mid-1970s.

At the V Foundation, we fund the high-impact research making these milestones possible. Victory Over Cancer® isn't a slogan, it's the ultimate goal.
