One of the primary goals of the
Elliott-Elliott-Head Center has been not only to treat
breast cancer, but to discover new more effective treatments
that will slow cancer growth and possibly destroy the
cancer altogether.
Through our own intensive research,
we have made great advances. We have discovered that
certain biological factors will tell us how fast a tumor
is growing. We have also developed and patented a vaccine
used in the treatment of breast cancer and one for the
treatment of prostate cancer.
By continuing our own work along
this path, as well as by collaborating with other physicians
and scientists in this country and in Europe, we are
able to bring new hope to our patients. Now, more than
ever before we see on the horizon, the kinds of treatments
that could eventually help us prevent more loss of life
to breast cancer.
The Elliott-Elliott-Head Center has
privately funded the majority of its research thus far,
however the need for additional funding is great, for
us to continue to work toward new treatments and diagnostic
procedures. Dr. Elliott has created the Sallie Astor Burdine Breast Foundation
to accept donations from private sources. The Sallie Astor Burdine Breast Foundation
is a not for profit organization. All contributions
are fully tax-deductible. (Tax I.D. #59-7800251)
