There is much in this issue of the Quarterly to remind us of the deceptively simple concept that some of the experiences of our lives will be historically significant for future generations. Sometimes we think we know history when it happens, but more often, we are unaware of the moments in our lives that will make a lasting mark.

    LOUISIANA CANCER RESEARCH CENTER Collaboration: the Key to the Cure

    LOUISIANA CANCER RESEARCH CENTER Collaboration: The Key to the Cure 2015 Annual Report A New Vision For The Future There is not a person in the state who has not been touched by cancer. It is the second leading cause of death statewide. Cancer incidence is 7% higher than the national average and mortality is 14% higher. But through the Louisiana Cancer Research Center (LCRC), there is a powerful, state-specific, public-private partnership designed to lessen cancer’s toll on our great state. The four institutions that form our Center collaborate to reduce cancer’s impact and counteract the health disparities that too often underlie them. Our research advances, clinical trials, smoking cessation programs and community engagement positively impacts the lives of residents across the state. Our year has been a busy one. All eyes were set on the Center’s future: the development of a multi-year strategic vision; the active second phase of construction on floors five and six; and the Board’s focus on securing the best team and resources to move us into a bright future. Last year our scientists made important progress elucidating the genetics of cancer, developing new drug therapies, investigating the connection between cancer and other diseases, and discovering contributing factors to drug resistance. Through our tobacco cessation efforts, hundreds of thousands of Louisianans are now breathing healthier air. In 2015, the Tobacco-Free Living initiative assisted in the successful passing of smoke-free ordinances that had an immediate impact on the health of patrons, workers and legendary performers in Hammond and New Orleans.
