The Heroes Foundation Funds Innovative Research to Treat Children With Rare Brain Cancers

Researchers at IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center are working to discover new treatments that could translate to the clinic more quickly and inexpensively than traditional drug development processes.

What if drugs existed that could help treat children with rare brain tumors, but they weren’t being prescribed to these young patients? Researchers at IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center hope to uncover such a drug combination hiding in plain sight, among other possible treatments, so every child with a rare pediatric brain cancer has a fighting chance for a healthier, brighter future. The Heroes Foundation is supporting this exciting research with a $10,000 gift.
