A strong partnership with the
Memorial
Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center
Invest for Children is co-operating with the Memorial Sloan-
Kettering Cancer Center (
) to support innovative
treatments for retinoblastoma, a tumor that occurs in the retina.
The program is under the direction of Mr. David H. Abramson
MD which introduced many new treatments for the disease
that have been adopted by other centers worldwide, including
the novel use of chemotherapy delivered around the eye to
prevent systemic toxicity to intravenous medication. The Center
has 470 beds, is located in New York City and is the oldest and
largest private institution committed to exceptional patient care,
leading-edge research, and superb educational programs.
Invest for Children is supporting the Center by:
offering optical coherence tomography equipment,
developing online educational resources
for retinoblastoma patients,
financing the artificial eye fund,
supporting the patient free care program.
