Thanks to our dedicated community of supporters, CARES has provided funding to like-minded healthcare partners nationwide for research, cancer patient support services, and cancer patient ancillary services. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Providence Cancer Center is looking forward to honoring Santa Rosa's own very special cartoonist, Charles Schulz, on the anniversary of his 100th birthday. Sparky lost his fight with colorectal cancer in February 2000 at the age of 77. Today, colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosed in the US, but thanks to clinical trials, treatment advances are being made. More research is needed to improve outcomes for patients with colorectal cancer. With funding from Sk8 to Elimin8 Cancer™ and to honor Sparky, Providence Cancer Center will expand their clinical trial treatments through the National Cancer Institute so patients can be treated with cutting-edge technology close to home. These studies include immunotherapy and novel targeted therapy medicines, which have fewer side effects than chemotherapy and improve patients quality of life during and after treatment.
