The Society’s 2021–2022 Campaign
The Society of Memorial Sloan Kettering has supported cancer research, patient care, and education at MSK for 75 years. The Society’s 2021–2022 campaign aims to accelerate progress in treating pancreatic cancer, which currently has a five-year survival rate of less than 10%. Christine Iacobuzio-Donahue, MD, PhD, Director of the David M. Rubenstein Center for Pancreatic Cancer Research and David M. Rubenstein Chair, is leading a team that investigates strategies to turn the disease into a manageable chronic condition and significantly extend survival. Through its research grants, The Society is helping shape a future in which every type of cancer can be understood and treated.

The Society of MSK is a volunteer-led organization dedicated to funding breakthrough discoveries that lead to novel treatments, educational programs that train young investigators, and patient-centered initiatives that improve care and ease the burdens cancer places on patients and their families.
