What Makes Us Different?

• Gateway focuses on cancer research that can have an impact on cancer patients today as well as 10 years down the road. The type of research we fund bridges the gap between the laboratory and other larger studies, keeping cancer research progressing toward a cure.

• Gateway ONLY provides funding for research (not outreach, education, etc.), which assures a focused, immediate impact on patients.

• Gateway research encompasses the most innovative applications of conventional therapies (chemotherapy, radiation and surgery) and the best in science-based complementary medicine (nutrition, biofeedback, psychoneuro-immunology, spiritual, etc).

• Gateway only supports clinically based studies that have passed the test tube stage, are ready to make a meaningful impact on cancer patients, and do not include use of laboratory animals.

• 99 cents of every dollar donated to Gateway funds cancer research programs, thanks to the generous underwriting of daily operational expenses. This ratio is unparalleled in any not-for-profit setting.
