Nick Valvano Translational Research Grant*

After successful treatments, cancer patients often dread their disease returning months or years down the road. Even a few cancer cells hidden in the body can find ways to grow again. We will find ways to block these cancer cells from mutating so that they cannot find ways to grow again. These studies seek to provide new ways to extend survival and improve quality of life.
