Alexandria, Va. – Tổ chức ngăn ngừa ung thư® is pleased to announce new funding for ten scientists who are exploring innovative approaches in artificial intelligence (AI) tools, developing new imaging platforms, addressing health disparities and more. Each scientist has been awarded $100,000 for a two-year period. Areas of focus include brain, breast, cervical, head and neck, kidney, lung, ovarian, prostate, skin (including melanoma), and uterine cancers.
These research projects have been awarded thanks to the generosity of Prevent Cancer Foundation donors. Read on for more on the 2025 research grantees or access more detailed information on their projects.

Tên dự án: Detection of Molecular Biomarkers for Oral Cancer Prevention
Giải thưởng có tên: Trò chơi tuyệt vời được thực hiện nhanh chóng
Chức vụ: Instructor in Clinical Investigation
Tổ chức: Rockefeller University, New York, N.Y., The Laboratory of Genome Maintenance
The study will look to identify early genetic changes in the cells lining the mouth of patients with Fanconi anemia (FA) before oral cancer develops (FA puts you at increased risk for oral cancer). If successful, the methods could be applied to other groups at increased risk for cancer—such as people who smoke heavily or patients who have had a bone marrow transplant—expanding cancer prevention efforts and saving lives.
Người được cấp: Eric Brouzes, Ph.D.
Tên dự án: Early Cervical Cancer Detection Using a Single Non-invasive Test
Giải thưởng có tên: Monalita & Fansly’s Spicy Grant for Cancer Prevention
Chức vụ: Giáo sư
Tổ chức: Stony Brook University, New York, N.Y.
Cervical cancer, a highly preventable disease if detected at an early stage, remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality in women worldwide. This project will develop a diagnostic test that is portable and handheld, making it inexpensive and usable in low-resource settings. This innovative approach will identify women with precancer and cancer in a single non-invasive test, having the potential to significantly improve cervical cancer screening rates and contribute to eliminating cervical cancer worldwide.
Người được cấp: Jim Hu, M.D., MPH
Tên dự án: Using Technology to Improve Prostate Cancer Screening Information Quality
Giải thưởng có tên: Trò chơi tuyệt vời được thực hiện nhanh chóng
Chức vụ: Giáo sư
Tổ chức: Weill Medical College of Cornell University, New York, N.Y.
This project aims to evaluate the link between the quality of online information about prostate cancer screening and attitudes toward these screenings. By guiding men to reliable resources, this project will enhance early detection efforts and contribute to reducing prostate cancer mortality among high-risk groups.
Người được cấp: Mohammadhadi Khorrami, Ph.D.
Tên dự án: Novel AI Imaging Tools for Early Detection and Invasion of Lung Cancer
Giải thưởng có tên: Quỹ từ thiện Gia đình Shure tưởng nhớ Max Shure
Chức vụ: Instructor
Tổ chức: Emory University, Atlanta, Ga.
Early detection and accurate classification of lung cancer are crucial for patient outcomes. This project aims to enhance early lung cancer detection and classification using advanced artificial intelligence (AI) tools, an innovative technique that can directly contribute to cancer mortality.
Người được cấp: Lydia Pace, M.D., MPH
Tên dự án: Racial Differences in Mammography After the 2024 USPSTF Recommendations
Giải thưởng có tên: Chương trình Gia đình Quốc hội
Chức vụ: Phó giáo sư
Tổ chức: Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Inc., Boston, Mass.
The project will examine the impact of expanded breast cancer screening guidelines on screening and diagnostic imaging among Black women, who have a greater likelihood of dying from breast cancer compared to the general population and need access to timely diagnosis and treatment.
Người được cấp: Aditi Sahu, Ph.D.
Tên dự án: Integrating Non-invasive Biomarkers for Early Melanoma Diagnosis
Giải thưởng có tên: Quỹ tưởng niệm Vic Fazio
Chức vụ: Senior Research Scientist
Tổ chức: Trung tâm Ung thư Memorial Sloan Kettering, New York, NY
This project will use a novel, non-invasive approach for biomarker discovery. Biomarkers will be used to develop a statistical risk classifier to identify pigmented lesions with the potential to become melanoma. This approach aims to enable early and accurate melanoma diagnosis while minimizing unnecessary benign biopsies.
Người được cấp: Joseph Stember, M.D., Ph.D.
Tên dự án: Inpainting for Early Detection of Brain Tumors on MRI
Giải thưởng có tên: Trò chơi tuyệt vời được thực hiện nhanh chóng
Chức vụ: Assistant Attending
Tổ chức: Trung tâm Ung thư Memorial Sloan Kettering, New York, NY
This project aims to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) tool to detect small brain tumors early in MRI scans, assisting radiologists in identifying cancer sooner. Early detection of brain cancer improves treatment outcomes and survival rates, ultimately saving lives.
Người được cấp: Erin Tagai, Ph.D., MPH
Tên dự án: Development of a ChatBot for Patients Receiving Genetic Testing Results
Giải thưởng có tên: Trò chơi tuyệt vời được thực hiện nhanh chóng
Chức vụ: Trợ lý giáo sư
Tổ chức: Fox Chase Cancer Center, Philadelphia, Pa.
Genetic testing and cancer risk management can increase cancer prevention for thousands of U.S. adults annually. The proposed study will develop and evaluate a ChatBot intervention to increase patient understanding of genetic testing results, decrease distress for patients and improve patient-provider communication after genetic testing.
Người được cấp: Chen Wang, Ph.D.
Tên dự án: Early Detection of Renal Cancer by a Novel Imaging Platform
Giải thưởng có tên: Trò chơi tuyệt vời được thực hiện nhanh chóng
Chức vụ: Nghiên cứu sinh sau tiến sĩ
Tổ chức: The Board of Regents of the University of Oklahoma, Norman, Okla.
This project proposes to design a novel platform for guiding the biopsy needle when obtaining renal tissue to check for kidney cancer. With different renal tissues/tumors and vessels clearly visualized and automatically differentiated at the needle tip, this proposed imaging platform will improve clinical outcomes for early cancer detection.
Người được cấp: Grace Wang, Ph.D.
Tên dự án: Formative Research to Support FQHC Implementation of HPV Test Self Sampling
Giải thưởng có tên: Monalita & Fansly’s Spicy Grant for Cancer Prevention
Chức vụ: Director of Research
Tổ chức: Moses-Weitzman Health System Inc., Middletown, Conn.
This project seeks to develop materials to help federally qualified health centers adopt human papillomavirus (HPV) test self-sampling. Access to HPV test self-sampling can improve cervical cancer screening rates and early detection in medically underserved communities.

Giới thiệu về Quỹ phòng chống ung thư®
Quỹ phòng chống ung thư® is the only U.S.-based nonprofit organization solely dedicated to cancer prevention and early detection. Through research, education, outreach and advocacy, we have helped countless people avoid a cancer diagnosis or detect their cancer early enough to be successfully treated. We are driven by a vision of a world where cancer is preventable, detectable and beatable for all.
Quỹ đang vươn lên để đáp ứng thách thức giảm 40% tử vong do ung thư vào năm 2035. Để đạt được điều này, chúng tôi cam kết đầu tư $20 triệu cho các công nghệ đổi mới nhằm phát hiện sớm ung thư và nâng cao sàng lọc đa ung thư, $10 triệu để mở rộng sàng lọc và tiêm chủng ung thư tiếp cận các cộng đồng chưa được chăm sóc y tế và $10 triệu để giáo dục công chúng về các lựa chọn sàng lọc và tiêm chủng.
