To prevail over cancer, marshaling heart and mind in bold scientific discovery, pioneering prevention and compassionate care.

  • The Institute for Cancer Research and its Research programs are renowned world-wide for their work in understanding both normal and abnormal cell growth. Scientists are involved in studies of genes that cause or inhibit cancer growth, virology, immunology, chemical carcinogens, cell growth and interaction and gene expression. In recent years, research has increasingly emphasized molecular oncology and genetics, areas which bridge advancing knowledge from the laboratory with new clinical approaches.

    Expenses $63,248,978 · Grants $548,088 · Revenue $49,619,763

  • The research facilities have been structured to fulfill the needs of the multi-disciplinary research programs at Fox Chase Cancer Center. The facilities have been designed to enhance ongoing research by supplying information, reagents, and technical expertise that are not readily available to the individual investigator.

    Expenses $9,002,297 · Revenue $1,562,609

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
