Golfers Against Cancer is an all-volunteer organization where virtually all of our fund-raising efforts go directly to benefit cancer research versus administrative costs. Our mission is to raise as much money as possible to fund promising cancer research projects that result in saving lives. Our funding has led to "proof of concept" cancer research - resulting in 10 to 1 and sometimes 100 to 1 funding from the National Cancer Institute, and the National Institute of Health and other governmental sources as a result of our seed funds.

Test can find tiny tumor level in blood
Boston researchers have developed a test that can identify minute amounts of tumor cells floating in the blood of cancer patients, a discovery that could lead to better treatments with fewer side effects. The technology, invented at Massachusetts General Hospital, uses a microchip scanner no bigger than a business card to analyze a patient's blood, hunting for stray cells shed by tumors. The device is so powerful that it can detect a single cancer cell among 1 billion healthy blood cells.
