Dr. Sahin explained the passion of CRS:  “that those suffering or wanting to know more about cancer and its prevention, therapies and treatments can understand it in a new, simplified form that any layman can understand. Currently almost all channels, TV, internet, mobile technology, events and fairs, in printed matter, and other sources, make it easy for the public to access this information 24/7/365 to over 120 countries around the world and in the 50 states in the United Sates.” CRS is free to all those who need it and is supported by donations from individuals, its Board Members and through grants, sponsorships and advertising. Dr. Sahin is currently recruiting at major college campuses, namely Harvard, Yale and Princeton, and many more in the coming months, to employ the most highly skilled cancer researchers in order to distill the latest cancer knowledge and bring it to the layman in an easy to understand manner.

The practice of great living standards, healthier lifestyle and diet, such as choosing organic foods versus highly processed foods, and choosing harsh chemical-free products is also a major part of Cancer Research Simplified message.
