About the Cedars-Sinai Women’s Cancer Research Institute
Cedars-Sinai Women’s Cancer Research Institute at the Samuel Oschin Comprehensive Cancer Institute works to “reduce the threat of cancer to women through research, education, early detection and prevention” (csmc.edu/7199.html).

Established in January 2002, the Women’s Cancer Research Institute works alongside Cedars-Sinai’s patient care programs and services, allowing innovative research to integrate with the hands-on prevention, diagnosis and treatment of women’s cancers.

To achieve its goals, the institute offers grants to researchers and scientists to more thoroughly investigate certain research ideas. The Institute also hosts monthly seminars to encourage and facilitate discussion and information-sharing between researchers and clinicians.

The Institute also offers clinics for women with gynecologic or breast cancers, and cancer prevention education through public service announcements, brochures, and seminars.

Partnering with Run For Her, the 5K Run and Friendship Walk to support ovarian cancer research and awareness, the Institute will receive all proceeds from the 2009 run/walk.
