At Duke, we're changing the rules on cancer. We draw on our entire pool of world-class talent and resources to share knowledge and innovation quickly and efficiently. This enables us to exponetially increase the possibility of advances to transform cancer prevention, treatment and survivorship. Our researchers and physicians partner to push the boundaries of possibility with a courage matched only by the patients we care for. 

We now seek the ultimate collaboration, the partnership that will allow us to fully realize the potential of every step we have taken to transform prostate and urologic cancer research and care. Our supporters are those individuals who grasp the electrifying implications of what we have done, and the astonishing potential of what we could do. With you on our team, we will change the rules on cancer and give the world a re-imagined vision of how to defeat the most relentless enemy of our generation.
