Explanation
PART III, LINE 4A - CANCER RESEARCH PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
Below are highlights of research accomplishments made by NFCR-funded scientists over the past year ===================================================================== Cancer Prevention ----------------- Micronutrient Selenium May Prevent Inflammation and Cancer Development: New findings show that dietary selenium absorbed by intestinal cells is made into antioxidant selenoproteins and transported to nearby immune cells. Selenium is crucial for avoiding excessive immune responses such as inflammation. Since abnormal selenoproteins are associated with colorectal cancers, this important research aims to better understand the role of selenoproteins in these intestinal and immune cells. (Helmut Sies, M.D.) Developing Preventative Approaches for People at High Risk to Develop Cancer: Triterpenoid compounds when used in combination with specific anti-inflammatory agents result in potent preventative effects against pancreatic, breast, and lung cancer. The Father of Chemoprevention believes that halting the development of cancer in the first place is the best approach for those people who are at high risk to be diagnosed with cancer. (Michael B. Sporn, M.D.) Early Detection --------------- Molecular Imaging Allows Detection of Markers on Cells when They First Become Cancerous: Detecting cancer at very early and more treatable stages significantly improves patients' chances of survival. This developing innovative technology also identifies the boundaries of cancers during surgery, greatly increasing the chance of complete removal of all cancer cells. (James Basilion, Ph.D.) Cancer Biomarkers Predict the Likelihood of Tumor Spread: Mutations in mitochondrial DNA may predict which patients' cancer is more likely to spread. Using a simple blood draw may enable doctors to identify patients who are more or less susceptible to metastasis, the deadliest aspect of cancer, and treat them more specifically. (Danny Welch, Ph.D.) Markers for Early Detection of Ovarian Cancer: Recent research has identified two proteins on ovarian cancer cells that may serve as markers with CA125, the first discovered marker. Multiple markers will facilitate early detection of ovarian cancer by SQUID Imaging, a developing technology 1000 times more sensitive than ultrasound. This much-needed tool will allow tiny tumors to be detected early-when the cancer is highly treatable-saving many women's lives. (Robert Bast, M.D.) Revolutionary Blood Test Will Change the Way Cancer is Detected: Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the bloodstream indicate that a small tumor is present in the body. The CTC chip, an innovative device about the size of a business card, will give doctors an unprecedented tool to detect the presence of cancer, if a tumor is spreading, and if treatments are effective or if a different approach should be taken. (Daniel Haber, M.D., Ph.D.) Cancer Treatment ---------------- Tumor Suppressor Gene Nanoparticles and Chemotherapy Together for Treating Ovarian Cancer: While this combined approach is currently in clinical trials treating other cancers, new research shows tumor suppressor gene nanoparticles (80,000 times smaller than the width of a hair) enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy in ovarian tumor models. Recurrent ovarian cancer is resistant to chemotherapy, making this combination a potential new treatment option for patients.(Esther Chang, Ph.D.) Biomarker in Lung and Ovarian Cancers May Predict Patient Response to Treatment: Patients may become resistant to the widely-used chemotherapy drug, Taxol. A promising biomarker that may indicate resistance to Taxol has been identified in lung and ovarian cancer cell lines. Continuing research may lead to a marker test on tumor biopsies to help doctors select patients who are most likely to repsond positively, or those who would be resistant. (Susan Band Horwitz, Ph.D.) Imaging Studies May Predict Glioblastoma Patient Response to Anti-Angiogenic Therapy: Anti-angiogenic therapy is used to treat most patients with this fatal brain cancer; however, only a small number of patients benefit. Just-released imaging results show that only patients who have increased blood flow to their tumors during anti-angiogenic therapy have improved outcomes. These results provide insight into selecting patients who will benefit the most from anti-angiogenic therapy. (Rakesh K. Jain, Ph.D.)
PART III, LINE 4B-CANCER EDUCATION TO THE PUBLIC PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
NFCR provides the public with free publications containing valuable information on the most up-to-date cancer preventive measures, treatment options, and diagnostic tools. Our powerful message sent to tens of millions of families has helped to assure that fewer of today's healthy individuals will get cancer and more of today's cancer patients will become tomorrow's cancer survivors. Our public education materials include early cancer detection guide, a Childhood Cancer Chart, cancer prevention kits, recipes for healthy living, electronic and printed newsletters, the latest cancer headlines, and in-depth online cancer information.

FRANKLIN SALISBURY, PRESIDENT AND CEO, AND SUJUAN BA, COO/CFO/SECRETARY ARE HUSBAND AND WIFE. SREEKUMAR RAGHAVAKAIMAL, SENIOR VP OF DEVELOPMENT AND PADMAKUMAR RAGHAVAKAIMAL, BOARD DIRECTOR, ARE BROTHERS.
PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B - REVIEW PROCESS OF FORM 990:
THE NATIONAL FOUNDATION FOR CANCER RESEARCH'S PROCESS FOR REVIEWING THE FORM 990. ======================================================================= 1. FORM 990 WILL BE PREPARED AFTER ANNUAL AUDIT IS DONE. 2. THE FIRST DRAFT WILL BE REVIEWED BY THE CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER AND THE CONTROLLER. 3. AFTER RESOLVING ANY QUESTIONS OR UPDATES, THE REVISED DRAFT WILL BE SENT TO BOARD MEMBERS, PREFERABLY ELECTRONICALLY FOR THEIR REVIEW AND COMMENTS. 4. THE BOARD MEMBERS' COMMENTS, IF ANY, WILL BE INCORPORATED IN THE FINAL RETURN. 5. THE RETURN WILL BE FILED WITH THE IRS PRIOR TO THE DESIGNATED DUE DATE OR EXTENDED DUE DATE. 6.

AN AMENDED RETURN, IF NECESSARY, WILL BE FILED.
PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C - CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY COMPLIANCE:
EACH DIRECTOR, PRIOR TO TAKING HIS/HER POSITION ON THE BOARD, AND ALL PRESENT DIRECTORS SHALL SUBMIT IN WRITING TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD A LIST OF ALL BUSINESSES OR OTHER ORGANIZATIONS OF WHICH HE/SHE IS AN OFFICER, DIRECTOR, TRUSTEE, MEMBER, OWNER SHAREHOLDER, EMPLOYEE OR AGENT, WITH WHICH THE FOUNDATION HAS, OR MIGHT REASONABLY IN THE FUTURE ENTER INTO, A RELATIONSHIP OR A TRANSACTION IN WHICH THE DIRECTOR WOULD HAVE CONFLICTING INTEREST ANNUALLY.
