Lot Essay

From achieving the first remissions in cancer with chemotherapy in 1948, to developing the very latest new therapies, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is a world leader in cancer research and treatment. It is the only cancer center ranked by U.S. News & World Report’s Best Hospitals guide in the top 4 for both pediatric (#1) and adult (#4) cancer care.

Dana-Farber is the founding member of the Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center, a U.S. National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center. Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center unites the cancer research efforts of five Harvard academic medical centers and two graduate schools. Dana-Farber is also a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School. Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women’s Cancer Center provides the latest in cancer care for adults, and Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Center provides the same for children.

In 2014 a new collaboration was formed between Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston Children’s Hospital (ranked #1 in U.S. for pediatric cancer), and Beijing Children’s Hospital (the largest pediatric center in Asia). The three institutions share a dedication to research and teaching with the goal of advancing the clinical outcomes and quality of life for children with cancer and blood diseases. Physicians from the three institutions plan to further engage in joint efforts to teach best practices, share ideas, and connect with each other to improve the lives of children and their families in the U.S., China, and around the world.

Proceeds from the sale of this artwork are intended to support Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, including its research, education, and training programs in China.
