The International Cancer Alliance for Research and Education (ICARE) is a non-profit organization, 501(c) (3), that supports cutting edge cancer research and provides high-quality, focused, user-friendly, cancer information to each patient as well as their physician on an on-going, and on a personalized basis.
ICARE is devoted to creating an effective partnership for new research and dialogue among patients, physicians, and cancer researchers. Toward this end, the mission of ICARE is threefold:
- To increase the flow of new, life-saving therapy information to cancer patients and their doctors. To convene investigative teams (I-Teams), composed of the world's top doctors, scientists, students and patients/advocates, that will attempt to define all available therapy options for the specific cancers represented in that team.
- To hasten the movement of new therapy research from the laboratory to the patient through support of clinical trials and research.
- To serve as an active advocate for creativity and innovative thinking in cancer research.
