After 17 years as director of the UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer
Center, it’s time for me to focus full time on my research. i will pursue investigations both in
my lab at UCSF and as director of a new National Cancer institute (NCi)-funded project in
Frederick, Maryland.
As i prepare to pass the torch to my yet-to-be-named successor, i can’t help but
reflect on my many rewarding experiences as director.
i came to UC San Francisco in 1996 to lead the Cancer Research institute and quickly
set up shop to consolidate UCSF’s various cancer programs into a comprehensive cancer
center. in 1998 we received our first NCi cancer center support grant and became, for the
first time, an NCi-designated comprehensive cancer center.
My first act as head of the new center was to recruit an additional batch of brilliant
minds in basic research, clinical research, and population sciences. together we elevated
the quality of investigations, and developed robust clinical trials and informatics programs.
Fifteen years later we are one of the top cancer centers in the country, as well as the largest
and best funded center in California.
Simultaneous to building up all these outstanding cancer programs, we built the UCSF
Helen Diller Family Cancer Research Building. the facility has been a boon to our work. Our
scientists are thriving among the powerhouse research community at Mission Bay, and our
clinicians look forward to the opening of the new cancer hospital a couple blocks away.
But one of my most gratifying experiences has been getting to know you, our donors
who believe in our mission. i’d especially like to thank the Diller family for your extraordinary
legacy of support. i also offer heartfelt thanks to Cathy Podell and Nanci Fredkin – the
organizers of our fundraising gala, Raising Hope, which began in 1996 – and to the
Atlantic Philanthropies for your loyalty to our center. And i extend my deep gratitude to
Barbara and Gerson Bakar. i am delighted that the new cancer hospital at Mission Bay will
be named the UCSF Bakar Cancer Hospital in honor of your longstanding commitment to
cancer research and care.
i sign off with a special thanks to all of you for your constant support and for continuing
to push the boundaries of our imagination. As the new director takes the reins, i trust that
your loyalty will remain steadfast.

GeneTiC answers To lymphedema
UCSF researchers have found an association between certain genes and the development of lymphedema, a painful condition that often occurs after breast cancer surgery and some other cancer treatments. “these genes are ‘turned on’ later in the development of our lymph system and blood vessels,” says Bradley Aouizerat, PhD, professor in the School of Nursing and co-leader of the study. “they appear to play a role in the ability of our lymphatic system to function on an ongoing basis. in some individuals who have changes in these genes it’s possible that lymphedema could develop after an injury like breast cancer surgery.” Lymphedema is the buildup of fluid in the lymphatic tissues and can be debilitating, causing scarring, discomfort, and difficulty in walking or other activities. Up to 56 percent of women who undergo breast cancer surgery develop lymphedema within two years. Researchers hope to identify women at risk for the condition and initiate measures to prevent its development.
ChanGinG The sTandard of Care
UCSF clinicians who ran a Phase 2 clinical trial testing a new protocol for treating a relatively rare form of brain cancer, primary CNS lymphoma, say the results may change the standard of care for the disease. Patients received a combination of high- dose chemotherapy with immune therapy, rather than the standard combination of chemotherapy with whole-brain radiotherapy. the new approach was less toxic and worked better, with the majority of patients still alive five years following treatment. the lymphoma-free survival of patients with this form of cancer was doubled compared to the lymphoma-free survival in previous trials involving brain radiotherapy, says UCSF oncologist James Rubenstein, MD, PhD, who led the study. He and his team also found a gene that, depending on how much of it is present, is a biomarker for potentially predicting treatment outcomes – a discovery that may enable personalized care.
inTerrupTinG TreaTmenT prolonGs life
Researchers have discovered that melanoma cells that develop resistance to the anti-cancer drug vemurafenib (marketed as Zelboraf) also develop addiction to the drug – an observation with potential implications for patients with late-stage disease. the team, based at UCSF, the Novartis institutes for Biomedical Research in emeryville, Calif., and University Hospital Zurich, found that as a result of their addiction, cells use vemurafenib to spur the growth of rapidly progressing, deadly, and drug-resistant tumors. However, adjusting the dosing and introducing an on-again, off-again treatment schedule prolonged the life of mice with melanoma, says co-lead researcher Martin McMahon, PhD, the efim Guzik Distinguished Professor of Cancer Biology. A similar approach may extend the effectiveness of the drug for people – an idea that awaits testing in clinical trials. Melanoma is the most aggressive type of skin cancer. in 2012 alone, an estimated 76,250 people in the US were newly diagnosed with it, while 9,180 people died from the disease.
PartnerinG to fiGHt brain cancerAshley Dabbiere is mother to four active young children, so when she noticed a creeping forgetfulness she attributed it to “baby brain.” But a 2012 MRI revealed a tumor occupying more than half of her brain’s frontal lobe. “My husband and I immediately started doing research because we wanted to find the best brain surgeon in the world. We quickly settled on Dr. Berger,” says Ashley, who lives outside Washington, DC. Mitchel Berger, MD, is the Berthold and Belle N. Guggenhime Professor and director of the Brain Tumor Research Center at UCSF. “The Dabbieres took ownership of the problem in a way that they could be part of the solution,” says Berger. The couple made two unrestricted gifts toward Berger’s research, which he is using to investigate how low grade slow-growing gliomas (the type Ashley has) evolve into high grade fast-growing tumors. “We can’t do what Dr. Berger does,” says Alan. “What we can do is build awareness and provide funding to help him find better cures for my wife and a lot of people. We are glad to partner with UCSF.”

blooD cancer lifeline flows botH waYsNancy White Gamble’s life changed in 2008, when she was diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia, a rare form of blood cancer. Within days, Gamble, who lives in Napa, Calif., met with UCSF’s Lloyd Damon, MD, director of hematologic malignancies and bone marrow transplant. Although the treatment that followed was harrowing, Gamble survived. In remission five years later, she attributes much of her survival not only to the excellent care she received at UCSF, but also to the hope Damon instilled in her. “He threw me a life preserver,” Gamble recalls, “and all I had to do was grab it.” To show her gratitude, Gamble made a pledge to create the Nancy White Gamble Hematologic-Malignancies Endowment. The endowment will support an annual fellowship for future Bone Marrow Transplantation (BMT) physicians. Training the next generation is critical, says Damon, who holds the Robert O. and Angela W. Johnson Endowed Chair of Hematopoetic Malignancies. While the need for BMT continues to grow, the number of doctors entering the field has not. The endowment will provide much-needed funding to help reverse this trend.
sUPPortinG breast cancer researcHDiagnosed with breast cancer in 2010, Sisi Damner interviewed many physicians before she found Mark M. Moasser, MD, a breast care specialist at the UCSF Carol Franc Buck Breast Care Center. “He’s an authority in his field and he’s also a good listener,” Damner says. “The two don’t always go together.” Moasser is one of several UCSF physician-scientists working at the interface of the clinical and scientific realms. He credits the patients he cares for in the oncology clinic for motivating his research. “Our larger vision is to find curative therapies for cancers driven by the HER2/neu oncogene, which account for 20 to 25 percent of breast cancers as well as many other cancers,” he says. Three years later, Damner is busy traveling and taking up new hobbies. In gratitude, she and her husband, Bert, named the UCSF breast cancer program a beneficiary of their charitable remainder trust. “We can’t help but want to support UCSF’s research into breast cancer,” Damner says, “the findings from which have the potential to make a difference to cancer patients and their families worldwide.”

blooD cancer lifeline flows botH waYsNancy White Gamble’s life changed in 2008, when she was diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia, a rare form of blood cancer. Within days, Gamble, who lives in Napa, Calif., met with UCSF’s Lloyd Damon, MD, director of hematologic malignancies and bone marrow transplant. Although the treatment that followed was harrowing, Gamble survived. In remission five years later, she attributes much of her survival not only to the excellent care she received at UCSF, but also to the hope Damon instilled in her. “He threw me a life preserver,” Gamble recalls, “and all I had to do was grab it.” To show her gratitude, Gamble made a pledge to create the Nancy White Gamble Hematologic-Malignancies Endowment. The endowment will support an annual fellowship for future Bone Marrow Transplantation (BMT) physicians. Training the next generation is critical, says Damon, who holds the Robert O. and Angela W. Johnson Endowed Chair of Hematopoetic Malignancies. While the need for BMT continues to grow, the number of doctors entering the field has not. The endowment will provide much-needed funding to help reverse this trend.
sUPPortinG breast cancer researcHDiagnosed with breast cancer in 2010, Sisi Damner interviewed many physicians before she found Mark M. Moasser, MD, a breast care specialist at the UCSF Carol Franc Buck Breast Care Center. “He’s an authority in his field and he’s also a good listener,” Damner says. “The two don’t always go together.” Moasser is one of several UCSF physician-scientists working at the interface of the clinical and scientific realms. He credits the patients he cares for in the oncology clinic for motivating his research. “Our larger vision is to find curative therapies for cancers driven by the HER2/neu oncogene, which account for 20 to 25 percent of breast cancers as well as many other cancers,” he says. Three years later, Damner is busy traveling and taking up new hobbies. In gratitude, she and her husband, Bert, named the UCSF breast cancer program a beneficiary of their charitable remainder trust. “We can’t help but want to support UCSF’s research into breast cancer,” Damner says, “the findings from which have the potential to make a difference to cancer patients and their families worldwide.”
