At the Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center, we are pioneering efforts to match smart drugs to a cancer's specific genetic mutation — to slow the cancer's growth — and in some cases, reduce it significantly. We know that our patients are unique and so are their tumors. Now their treatment can be, too.

On September 13, Hope on Wheels visited the Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center to award them with a Hope Grant. Dr. Quynn and Dr. Weinstein welcomed guests and spoke about the center and program.

After the presentation, the dealers were given a tour of the facility. Ironically, during the tour a mother, who was there with her family and her young daughter with cancer, recognized Peter from a previous event in Pennsylvania. She was thrilled to know that Hyundai was supporting the program that she brings her daughter to.

Physicians at the Massachusetts GeneralHospital Cancer Center have become leaders in the development of personalized medicine for cancer patients. Specifically, years of collaborative research among clinicians, pathologists and molecular biologists have led to the development of better and faster methods to "genotype"
cancers and identify the genetic abnormalities that drive particular tumors. In turn, these methods are giving rise to new treatment paradigms focused on genetic mutations that may be shared by different tumors, irrespective
of their tissue of origin.

Linnea Duff and Greg Vrettos never smoked a day in their lives, yet both were diagnosed at a young age with stage 4, inoperable lung cancer. Today, with targeted therapy their cancer has disappeared and they continue to live full active lives in the company of friends and family.

By studying the genetic profile of lung cancer tumors, researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital have made ground breaking progress in the treatment of this challenging disease.
