Proceeds will support Dr Lampidis ongoing cancer research which is focused on eradicating cancer by exploiting a trait common to most tumors.

This provides funding for Dr Lampidis' ongoing cancer research that is focused on eradicating cancer by exploiting a trait common to most tumors; Increased  sugar uptake. Although the PET scan has been around for more than two decades and has proven that tumors take up more glucose than normal cells it has not been successfully exploited for treatment. Dr.Lampidis has found that a sugar very similar to glucose,  (2-deoxygluscose) , can be used to trick most if not all types of cancers to take it up selectively and because it cannot be utilized inside the cell  for energy or for growth it essentially starves the tumor cell to death. His cell culture and laboratory animal work has led to FDA approval of a Phase I clinical trial that has recently been reported. The donations are now needed to bring his technology thru a series of other clinical trials before it can be used as a new universal treatment for most if not all cancers!

It is remarkable to think that Miami is on the front line in the race to bring the cure to cancer to those that need it most. Most of us will be touched by cancer at some time in our lives and there's no time or opportunity to be wasted to get involved-Together we can make a difference.
