A Common Tie a Common Hope A COMMON TIE A COMMON HOPE ANNUAL REPORT 2010/2011 A COMMON TIE. A COMMON HOPE. The Abramson Cancer Center is dedicated to one purpose—the eradication of cancer as a cause of human disease and suffering. As we continue to pursue this singular mission, we relentlessly conduct new research, translate our findings into innovative therapies, and investigate new ways to prevent and diagnose cancer. We also make sure that the patients and families we serve can expect the highest level of care, from diagnosis through treatment and recovery as they access our specialists at any one of our three main locations at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Penn Presbyterian Medical Center and Pennsylvania Hospital. A national leader in cancer research, care, and education, the Abramson Cancer Center has been continuously designated as a Comprehensive Cancer Center by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) since 1973. One of only 40 such Centers in the country, the Abramson Cancer Center was recently rated “EXCEPTIONAL” by the NCI following a scientific review and evaluation of essential features of a cancer center—the highest possible rating a Center can receive. These honors reflect our ongoing commitment to interdisciplinary research programs, the expansion and integration of patient services, the recruitment of exceptional faculty, and the development of interdepartmental educational programs. In recognition of Madlyn and Leonard Abramson’s $140 million commitment to cancer research and care, Penn’s Cancer Center was renamed the Abramson Cancer Center in 2002. Today, thanks to the generosity of the Abramsons and many other friends like them, more than 400 research and clinical specialists call the Abramson Cancer Center home, each one of them dedicated to preventing, diagnosing, and ultimately curing cancer.

CHI VAN DANG The Abramson Cancer Center is delighted to welcome Chi Van Dang, MD, PhD, as Director of the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania. Dean J. Larry Jameson, MD, PhD, joins us in enthusiastically endorsing Dr. Dang’s appointment and in thanking the search committee, chaired by Dr. John Glick, for their efforts. Born in Saigon, Vietnam, Dr. Dang arrived in the United States in 1967. He graduated from the University of Michigan with a BS in chemistry in 1975. In 1978, he earned his PhD in chemistry at Georgetown University; four years later, he received his MD from Johns Hopkins University. Following an internship and residency in medicine at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Dr. Dang took a fellowship in hematology-oncology at the Cancer Research Institute of the University of California at San Francisco. In 1987, Dr. Dang was appointed assistant professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins, where he remained until joining Penn Medicine. For ten years he served as Chief of the Division of Hematology, with five years concurrently as Deputy Director Of Research for the Department of Medicine. In 2000, Dr. Dang was appointed Vice Dean For Research for the entire school, charged with overseeing research administration, policy coordination, and technology transfer. Given his appointments in several departments, it was natural for him to also explore funding opportunities for interdisciplinary research and to create an environment conducive to innovative and collaborative inquiries. As an educator, Dr. Dang was Director of the Hematology Training Program and was a sponsor and mentor for many medical students, PhD candidates, and physician-scientists. The Abramson Cancer Center would like to thank Caryn Lerman, PhD, the Mary W. Calkins Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and the Annenberg Public Policy Center, who ably served as our Interim Director. Penn Medicine and Abramson Cancer Center (ACC) Leaders and Founders: J. Larry Jameson, MD, PhD, Dean, Perelman School of Medicine; Caryn Lerman, PhD, ACC Deputy Director; John H. Glick, MD, Former ACC Director; Madlyn and Leonard Abramson, Founding Donors; Chi V. Dang, MD, PhD, ACC Director; and Richard A. “Buzz” Cooper, MD, First ACC Director 2 LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR TOUCHING LIVES AROUND THE WORLD It is thrilling to be on Penn’s campus and serve as the new Director of the Abramson Cancer Center. When I think about the lives that are affected each day by the Abramson Cancer Center, I am overwhelmed. I am also struck by the level of commitment to our mission that I see here. It’s a commitment that encompasses the work we do, the relationships between our staff members, and the compassionate care we extend to our patients and their loved ones. And it’s a commitment I see from everyone I encounter, from physicians, nurses, and physical therapists to social workers, nutritionists, care coordinators, and all of our support staff. The connections between the Abramson Cancer Center and the community we serve extend outward into the lives of cancer patients around the world. The impact of our work is a responsibility we think about every day as we continue to improve the ways we prevent, diagnose, and treat this devastating disease. TRANSLATIONAL CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE The future of cancer care at the Abramson Cancer Center lies in the creation of Translational Centers of Excellence (TCEs) that include intimately connected disease-specific care teams across our entities, including scientists and physicians at Presbyterian Medical Center and Pennsylvania Hospital. By linking scientists, clinicians, clinical investigators, nurses, geneticists, and researchers, these TCEs will allow the ongoing delivery of state-of-the-art therapies and care. Interdisciplinary TCEs will provide the highest standards of care as well as the latest experimental therapy based on research with tangible measures of outcome. Everyone who chooses the Abramson Cancer Center expects the best from us. They expect outstanding care and they expect HOPE. And that’s exactly what we’ll give them. I always remind myself that “the patient is waiting,” and I look forward to being a part of the Abramson Cancer Center as we continue to provide the “patient waiting” in our own clinics and around the world with hope, compassion, and technologies that improve their well-being.

In this committee, we will be looking at the Golden Age of Piracy, a period of history that has captured the imaginations of writers and filmmakers for decades. People have long been enthralled by the swashbuckling tales of pirates, their fame multiplied by famous books and movies such as Treasure Island, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Peter Pan. But more often than not, these portrayals have been misrepresentations, leading to a multitude of inaccuracies regarding pirates and their lifestyle. This committee seeks to change this. In the late 1710s, nearly all pirates in the Caribbean operated out of the town of Nassau, on the Bahamian island of New Providence. From there, they ravaged shipping lanes and terrorized the Caribbean’s law-abiding citizens, striking fear even into the hearts of the world’s most powerful empires. Eventually, the British had enough, and sent a man to rectify the situation — Woodes Rogers. In just a short while, Rogers was able to oust most of the pirates from Nassau, converting it back into a lawful British colony.

  • Community Engagement and Educational Outreach
    Community Engagement and Educational Outreach In November 1977, 20,000 women and men left their jobs and homes in cities and small towns around the country to come together at the fi rst National Women’s Conference in Houston, Texas. Their aim was to end dis- crimination against women and promote their equal rights. Present were two former fi rst ladies–Lady Bird Johnson and Betty Ford—and the current fi rst lady, Rosalyn Carter. Also present were grandmothers and lesbians, Republicans and Democrats, African Americans, Asian Americans, Latinas, and Native Ameri- can women—and the most infl uential leaders of the burgeoning women’s movement—Bella Abzug, Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, Eleanor Smeal, Ann Richards, Coretta Scott King, Barbara Jordan and others. SISTERS OF ’77 provides a fascinating look at that pivotal weekend and how it changed American life and the lives of the women who attended. Using the fi lm as a focus piece, ITVS’s Community Connections Project (CCP), community engagement and educational outreach campaign, reaches out to: • Organizations that invest in building young women leaders • University and high school students who participate in gender studies, political science, history and social studies • Organizations that promote women’s equal rights, reproductive freedom, lesbian and minority rights • Internet groups that focus on democracy in action, social change and human rights Independent Television Service (ITVS) 501 York Street San Francisco, CA 94110 phone 415.356.8383 email [email protected] web www.itvs.org The goals
