ABOUT TARGETCANCER/THE RIGHT TRACK: TUNES TO TARGETCANCER: Launched in 2009 by Cambridge, MA resident Paul Poth, TargetCancer promotes the development of lifesaving treatment protocols for uncommon cancers. Through fundraising, outreach, and advocacy, TargetCancer supports cancer patients while also funding research initiatives at the forefront of cancer treatment - efforts that treat the individual as well as the disease. When Paul, a dedicated husband, new father and a lawyer with a passion for public service was diagnosed with hepatobiliary duct cancer, an extremely rare form of cancer, he quickly learned that there was no real insight into the disease or the treatments. Due to lack of funds and research, Paul seemingly had no choice but to go along with his doctors' plans to patchwork together treatments for other forms of cancers. Sadly, Paul lost his battle with cancer, but he knew treatment for rare cancers does not have to be this way. After Paul's passing, his wife, friends and family continued TargetCancer, in honor and celebration of Paul. For more information, visit www.TargetCancer.info
