Mission Statement
Canary Foundation is the world’s first non-profit organization dedicated solely to the funding, discovery, and development of tests for early cancer detection.
Description
Canary Foundation is the world’s first nonprofit dedicated solely to cancer early detection. We are developing simple tests that identify and isolate cancer at its earliest, most curable stage. Our programs are positioned to prove a cancer early detection platform beginning with multi-institutional research in ovarian, prostate, lung, breast, and pancreatic cancers. We also partner with Stanford University in the Canary Center at Stanford for cancer early detection. Since 2004, Canary has raised over $50 million to support early detection research.
90% of people survive cancer when it is detected early.
90% of people don’t survive when it is detected late.
Cancer is almost always detected late.
Early Detection Saves Lives
