effective treatments improving the chance for cure. We provide the opportunity for doctors tocollaborate internationally, working with institutions in countries such as Israel and Serbia, to better
understand less researched cancers. We recognize the value in personalized medicine, recognizingthat every patient is unique in how they should be treated. CORI looks to expand our partnerships as we look towards the future of cancer research and moreeffective treatments.
