Dedication comes in many forms. The decision to

give financially. The sharing of time and talent. The willingness to

advocate and communicate the importance of Massey’s mission.

The conviction that fewer should suffer at the hands of cancer.

No matter what form it takes, the dedication of Massey’s

community is absolutely essential. Essential to our strength,

our progress, our innovation.

Innovation is the heart of scientific research. Discovering a

new way, a better way. Exploring an original approach or

a fresh concept to see ideas become reality and possibilities

become certainties. Certainties that can create change and

lead to transformation.

Massey’s mission is, in one word, transformation. We envision a

world transformed into one without the burden of cancer. We are

all committed to transforming science into a better life for those

whom cancer has touched—and for all those for whom might be

spared. With your help, we are transforming the way cancer

is prevented, detected and treated.

With your help, we are transforming lives.

T H A N K YO U

You have made a significant investment in VCU Massey Cancer

Center, and I am humbled and gratified by your generosity.

This year was monumental in Massey’s evolution as a leader in

cancer research and care. Critical hurdles were cleared, major

milestones were met and our reach was multiplied many times

over—all as a direct result of your partnership in our mission.

Your dedication is an essential starting point of all we do. We need

your financial support, we need your advocacy, we need your

belief that together we are improving the quality of our lives.

As physicians and scientists, innovation is at the heart of the

research my colleagues and I conduct. Taking new approaches,

looking at problems differently and making new connections

requires innovative thinking about the genetic and molecular

structure of cancer. Those discoveries are transformed into new

methods of treating the patients who count on us to improve,

extend and even save their lives…which is, of course, the ultimate

transformation. Life spared from the hands of cancer.

The 2012 fiscal year was one of phenomenal transformation for

Massey. We received crucial encouragement from the National

Cancer Institute with renewal of our designation and a clear road

map of how we can become the first NCI-designated Comprehensive

Cancer Center in Virginia. Governor Bob McDonnell demonstrated

his commitment to our mission with an unprecedented allocation

in the biennial budget, which was wholeheartedly endorsed by the

General Assembly. Finally, Massey was the beneficiary of

an extraordinary $25 million bequest which will allow

endowment gifts to be transformed into exceptional

recruitment and retention opportunities,

ultimately resulting in even greater

momentum in our research progress.

Your dedication fuels our innovation and

passion. Together we will continue to

transform cancer research and care in

Virginia and beyond and in so doing

benefit patients and families facing

cancer now and in the future.

On behalf of all of us at Massey,

thank you for your partnership.

DEDICATED TO THE FUTURE

OF CANCER RESEARCH

Medical students and faculty members

celebrate the “topping out” (placing of the

last beam on the building structure) of the

McGlothlin Medical Education Building.

Along with conducting leading cancer

research and providing compassionate care

to thousands each year, Massey also helps

train and mentor the next generation of

physician-scientists. The new building,

scheduled to open in Spring 2013, will

include the Massey Research Pavilion con-

sisting of two floors dedicated to elevating

Massey’s research efficiency and capabilities.

Happily married for 54 years, Lee and Janet Showalter know

the importance of teamwork. It’s what impresses them most

about the collaborative nature of the scientific work at Massey

Cancer Center.

“So many researchers are focused on their own reputation and

publications,” says Janet. “Massey and their researchers combine

efforts with other facilities and institutions. That’s very important.”

The Showalters are also familiar with the fight against cancer.

They had a son-in-law who passed away from a brain tumor

six years ago. Lee’s mother fought several cancers before

succumbing to pneumonia. And eight years ago, Lee was

diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), though

the disease remains in remission.

“We’ve had quite a few cancers within the family,” says Janet.

“So we really wanted to help with research to help find new

treatments that could help Lee or others we love.”

The Showalters have been giving annually through their

family fund at the Community Foundation Serving Richmond

and Central Virginia for years. But after Lee saw an article in

Massey’s Advance magazine about the cutting-edge CLL research

of Steven Grant, MD, Olsson Chair in Oncology Research, he

was spurred to take action with greater support. The Showalters

decided to give $100,000, to be split between Grant’s research

and the construction of Massey’s designated portion of the

James W. and Frances G. McGlothlin Medical Education Center,

scheduled for completion in 2013.

Known for his treatments of blood cancers, Grant has researched

the synergistic effects of various drugs to induce programmed cell

death in CLL cells.

“We’re very excited about newer agents showing significant

activity with CLL,” Grant says, adding that his initial data—often

obtained with critical philanthropic support— “serves as a catalyst

for grants and other awards to continue advancing the research.”

The Showalters had a chance to meet

with Grant last fall. “He was able to help

us, as novices in this area, to understand

what his targets were and the promising

direction of his work,” Lee says.

The Showalters are originally from

Roanoke. Janet was a physical therapy

graduate of the Medical College of Virginia,

while Lee was a chemical engineering

graduate of the University of Virginia.

They settled in Richmond where Lee

began a distinguished career in the

paper industry, first at Albemarle

Paper and Ethyl Corporation

before helping found the

James River Corporation.

As an engineer, Lee was duly

impressed with the Medical

Education Center when the

couple took a ‘hard hat’

tour over the summer.

The 12-story building

will contain 27,000 gross

square feet dedicated

to cancer research.

“One of the floors is a

shared resource lab designed

for collaboration, where a

number of departments

will utilize various research

resources,” Lee notes.

Just the kind of smart teamwork the

Showalters like to see.


D E D I C AT I O N

Massey Cancer Center distinguishes

itself through innovation. Innovation

at the hands of researchers like Devanand

Sarkar, PhD, a Harrison Scholar who has

devoted his career to studying liver cancer,

or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Like most innovators, Sarkar loves a

challenge. Liver cancer is one of the most

understudied cancers in the United States,

even though its incidence rate has been

steadily increasing. The need for funding

remains as important as ever.

This difficult-to-treat cancer is one of the

leading causes of cancer-related deaths

worldwide, accounting for more than

600,000 deaths every year. Once diag-

nosed, there are few options for treatment.

However, Sarkar has had great success

over the last four and a half years with

mouse models that could lead to

promising new therapies.

“We have made significant strides in

understanding the molecular mechanism

of liver cancer progression,” says Sarkar,

a member of Massey’s Cancer Molecular

Genetics program. His lab team has identi-

fied several new molecules involved in HCC.

One of the genes his lab has been working

with, Astrocyte elevated gene-1 (AEG-1),

was originally cloned by fellow Massey

scientist Paul Fisher, PhD, program co-

leader of the Cancer Molecular Genetics

program and Thelma Newmeyer Corman

Chair in Cancer Research. Both scientists

came to Massey together from New York.4 > VCU Massey Cancer Center 2011/2012


INNOVATION THROUGH

COLLABORATION

Gone are the days when scientists

worked in secret, guarding their work

and discoveries behind closed doors.

Now, collaboration is an essential part

of research, and seen by many as the

only way advancements will be made.

Paul Fisher, PhD, (pictured above) and

Devanand Sarkar, PhD, have collaborated

for years. Based on knowledge gleaned

from a key discovery Fisher made about

one gene, each has led significant advances

in understanding several different cancers.

This sharing of knowledge fosters innova-

tion and is a cornerstone of Massey’s

research philosophy.

“We’ve had a strong collaboration between our groups for years,”

Sarkar says.

Sarkar was drawn to the “groundbreaking work” being done at

Massey. Since he arrived, he’s been producing results. His work

has led to the identification of another gene, LSF, as an important

regulator of liver cancer and development of small molecule

inhibitors of LSF as potential therapy for this fatal disease.

But Sarkar is quick to point out that none of it would be possible

without the philanthropic support from the Harrison family

through their foundations.

“I really thank the Harrison family. They’ve allowed me to make

some bold steps to do some really cutting-edge work,” Sarkar

explains. “I can use that preliminary data to submit for new grants.

Their support is vital and means so much to me.”

Sarkar’s mouse models, and the implications for AEG-1 and

LSF, could well lead to new therapies in the near future. “We are

exploring non-toxic therapies, such as LSF inhibitors, that are

significantly reducing liver cancer in mice,” Sarkar says. “So it all

looks very promising.”

Insights from his latest work were published in the journal

Hepatology. His lab found that AEG-1 overexpression significantly

accelerated liver cancer progression while causing steatosis, or

fatty liver, which promotes cancer progression. The mouse model

also suggests that AEG-1 plays a role in protecting liver cancer

cells from chemotherapeutic drugs and alters the way new blood

vessels form within the tumor. The studies describing initial

evaluation of LSF inhibitors in liver cancer was published in

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, USA.

Sarkar hopes that within the next year, his new data will allow the

start of clinical trials—signifying the translation of his research

into a treatment for patients. If all goes well, his innovations could

soon become a powerful weapon in the fight against this little

understood cancer.

TRANSLATING RESEARCH

TO TRANSFORM LIVES

Moving scientific discoveries from the

laboratory into real-world patient applica-

tions is the heart of Massey’s mission and

the ultimate hope of every breakthrough

made in the lab. Phase I clinical trials

represent the moment when lab research

meets the patient, and are a critical part of

the research process. Massey’s Phase I

clinical research teams, including Maria

Quigley, RN, and Andrew Poklepovic, MD,

(pictured above) follow specific protocols

to select and monitor patients who partici-

pate in this crucial phase of research.

Securing National Cancer Institute (NCI) grant support

for research is tougher than ever in these challenging

economic times. Internationally known Massey researcher

Steven Grant, MD, Olsson Chair in Oncology Research, whose

prolific blood cancer work is showing great promise for patients

with acute forms of leukemia, understands the risk this represents.

“There is strong potential that some opportunities will be lost

because we won’t have sufficient funding to follow up promising

leads,” Grant says. “Philanthropic support is crucial because it

allows us to seize these opportunities.”

Grant’s innovative work won a highly competitive $1.2 million

dollar NCI Grand Opportunity or “GO” grant, funded by the

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to pursue a Phase I trial

for leukemia. GO grants fund “high impact” studies that produce

results right away, usually involving multiple NCI-designated

cancer centers.

For a closer look at the impact, just talk to Massey leukemia

patient Roberta Richardson. A licensed minister, Richardson was

diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome—or pre-leukemia—

in 2010 which soon progressed to acute leukemia. After two

lines of chemo therapy failed, Richardson decided to participate

in Grant’s Phase 1 clinical trial testing a new combination of

drugs against her disease.

These early clinical trials represent the critical juncture where

Massey’s translational research moves from laboratory into

patients. Extensive teamwork between basic scientists, clinical

researchers, and translational researchers is key, Grant notes.

“That is a major strength of Massey Cancer Center,” Grant says.

“We have an outstanding track record extrapolating these findings

from the bench to the bedside.”

Massey physician-scientist Beata Holkova, MD, Harrison Scholar,

a blood cancer specialist, is a crucial link in the translational pro-

cess. She has the challenging job of writing pre-clinical protocols

(a scientific road map) for Phase I trials, which are designed to



determine safe dosage of new drugs. Roberta

was one of fewer than 30 participants in

the trial, which had a stunning five patients

who responded positively with partial or full

remission—an extremely encouraging sign.

“It’s very unusual for this kind of success

in the early phases,” Grant says. “We’re

really excited about the prospects and

newer concepts that could theoretically

build on this work.”

Richardson’s health improved enough

to receive a stem cell transplant and she

recently passed her 100th-day post-

transplant, an important milestone.

But she says she couldn’t have

managed without the supportive,

hands-on Massey researchers,

who even checked with her

on weekends.

“I never felt at any time in

the process that I wasn’t fully

engaged in my own treatment,”

Richardson says. “They glean

everything they can.”

This early success “can speed up

the process of getting to Phase II

and III trials, and ultimately approval

as a standard treatment,” Holkova says.

Meanwhile, Richardson, who just turned

54, is being weaned off her post-transplant

drugs. Then life goes back to normal,

hopefully. “You have to look at it like this:

Even if the clinical trial doesn’t help you,

it’s going to help somebody,” says a

grateful Richardson. VCU Massey Cancer Center 2011/2012 > 7

Like many before her, when Kaity

Kasper was diagnosed with cancer, she

was blindsided. Just 23 years old, she had

the typical invincibility of young adulthood

and the best of life ahead of her when she

received the biopsy results on the swollen

lymph node in her neck.

“I was thinking about anything other than

a cancer diagnosis,” she recalls.

Her doctors at Massey determined she

had Hodgkin’s lymphoma stage 2B. She

immediately began treatment.

“I hate doctors and I hate hospitals,”

Kasper says. “But the staff at

Massey doesn’t make you feel

like a patient, they treat you

like a person. They know it’s

not your whole life.”

She befriended nurses

who even helped her

prepare for the Law

School Admissions

Tests while she was

receiving chemo

treatments.

“Despite the brutal reason I

was there, I fell in love with

Massey, and I looked forward to

seeing these extraordinary

people whenever I was there.”



A COMMUNITY’S DEDICATION

Cancer affects everyone. Massey’s mission

is to change that fact. For the moment,

however, it is a bond that brings the

community together for an important

purpose. Throughout the year, thousands

of individuals across Virginia share their

stories, gratitude, sorrow and hope in

countless ways. Pictured above, the

Banner of Hope has become a fixture

at the Ukrop’s Monument Avenue 10k

as a beloved part of the HDL, Inc. Massey

Challenge. Participants and spectators

alike make it a point to honor or

memorialize loved ones who fought

cancer, and to share their encouragement

for all those in the battle.

Kasper finished her treatment in November of 2002. She is now

an attorney with a passion and sense of duty to raise awareness

among her peers about the importance of cancer research. She’s

done this in many valuable ways—serving on the board of the

Massey Alliance (Massey’s junior board), and volunteering on

numerous fund raising and patient services committees. She is

now preparing to make her biggest mark in her effort to honor the

place she credits with saving her life.

Soon after her successful treatment, Kasper began participating in

the Massey Challenge, a fundraising partnership with the Ukrop’s

Monument Avenue 10k. Her first year, she raised nearly $2,000.

A spark was ignited.

“I wear the survivor bib during the race. No less than four or five

total strangers, come up and start running with me each year,”

Kasper says. “The Challenge is empowering and brings something

very beautiful to something that can be very sad and frustrating in

people’s lives.”

Over the past six years, Kasper has individually raised more than

$25,000 through the Massey Challenge. As chair of the 2013 HDL,

Inc. Massey Challenge, she has her sights set sky-high for herself

and the Richmond community.

In November, Kasper is celebrating the ten-year anniversary of her

remission and her goal is to individually raise more than $25,151

between November 1 and April 13 (check out her blog titled

Twenty-Five Thousand, One Hundred Fifty-One), while leading

thousands of others to collectively raise more than $500,000 to

support research at Massey.

“My risk is so high of hearing ‘you have cancer’ again,” she says

with a calm strength in her voice. “I appreciate the unexpected

gifts cancer and Massey have brought to my life. I can use my

history to help others and I can take an active role in ensuring

there are better answers if I do face cancer again. I feel so blessed

to be able to do that.”

NCI RENEWS MASSEY’S

DESIGNATION

After a rigorous review of all aspects

of the research enterprise in October

2011, Massey received a five-year renewal

as an NCI-designated cancer center. “By all

accounts, this was best evaluation that the

Center has ever received. The feedback was

overwhelmingly positive,” said Massey’s

director, Gordon Ginder, MD.

Massey was commended for the significant

advances made toward NCI Comprehensive

status—the top level awarded —and were

encouraged to apply for it during the next

review in 2016. Obtaining the elevated

honor of NCI Comprehensive status would

raise Massey’s profile and facilitate expan-

sion of our cancer research by attracting

even more top researchers, sponsored

research funding, philanthropic donations

and state funding.

To satisfy NCI Comprehensive standards, focus remains on:

• building and strengthening cancer research by multiplying

groundbreaking research discoveries and then expediting them

from bench to bedside,

• boosting the level of research collaboration within and across

disciplines represented in scientific programs,

• continuing to build a national model in disparities research and

expanding community outreach and education,

• expanding Massey’s clinical trials network,

• increasing patient participation in clinical research,

• growing Massey’s team of accomplished and promising

scientists, clinicians and staff.

“We have appropriately positioned the Center to support these

endeavors, and I have every confidence that with a sharpened

focus and redoubled effort, achieving the top designation is within

our reach,” says Ginder.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY ELEVATES SUPPORT

With an unprecedented $15 million included in Governor

Bob McDonnell’s biennial budget, Massey’s corps of

volunteer advocates (comprised of community supporters,

research and clinical faculty and Massey staff) had a primary

message of appreciation when they visited legislators at the

General Assembly in January 2012 during the annual “Massey

Day on the Hill.”


January

April

Volunteers were armed with information supporting the necessity

of the Commonwealth’s investment in Massey. Advocates, led by

George Emerson, chair of the Legislative Committee of the Massey

Advisory Board, also asked the legislators to support a bill that

would expand the criteria for usage of funds available through the

Tobacco Indemnification and Community Revitalization Commission

(TICRC). This bill passed both houses, giving Massey the oppor tunity

to apply for additional funding through the TICRC to support

research that will ultimately have a positive impact on the

communities of the Southside and Southwest “tobacco counties.”

“All of us at Massey, much like our legislators, work on behalf

of all Virginians. With continued bipartisan support for funding

cancer research, as well as education and outreach throughout

the Commonwealth, I have no doubt we will reap the rewards

of a healthier, more productive and more prosperous Virginia,”

says Ginder.

A TRANSFORMATIONAL GIFT

In the early 1950s, Margaret and Arthur Glasgow created the

Glasgow Trusts and named the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts

and the Medical College of Virginia, now Virginia Commonwealth

University, as the primary recipients of their planned gift. Their last

heir, Ambrose Congreve, passed away in spring 2011 at the age of

104. VCU received $45 million to support research related to cancer

and other degenerative diseases.

This landmark gift to the university resulted in a $25 million alloca-

tion to Massey Cancer Center, creating the lead gift for Massey’s

Research for Life Campaign. It also facilitated a unique opportu-

nity to leverage the gift and the gifts of others, while significantly

growing Massey’s endowment—the crucial foundation of our

ability to fund the mission of the cancer center in perpetuity.

Effective in April 2012, investments of

$500,000 or more for endowment will

allow funds to be drawn from the yield of

the Glasgow Trusts in a matching amount,

to be used for the same endowment,

essentially doubling the donor’s gift and

its intended impact. The incentive will

be active until the $25 million has been

fully committed as matching funds for

endowment gifts.

In May 2012, the first gift to take advan-

tage of the Glasgow Incentive was made.

An anonymous donor gave $3.25 million

to create four endowed chairs for cancer

research. With the Glasgow Incentive,

this gift became $6.5 million, doubling

its impact and Massey’s ability to recruit

and retain researchers who will advance

Massey’s mission. One of these new

chairs has been named the Gordon

D. Ginder Chair in Cancer Research in

recognition of the 15 years of leadership

and dedication of Massey’s director.

For more information on the Glasgow

Incentive, call (804) 828-1450.

Translate proven laboratory concepts into original Phase I clinical trials:

•Andrew Poklepovic, MD, is principal investigator of a pilot study to compare the toxicity of doxorubicin- based chemotherapy combined with sildenafil, also known as Viagra. Sildenafil may increase the anti-cancer effects of doxorubicin-based chemotherapy while helping reduce toxicity to the heart caused by doxorubicin. The trial is being conducted in patients with solid tumors that may be treated with doxorubicin, including breast, gastrointestinal and gynecologic cancers. Based on the research of Rakesh Kukreja, MS, PhD

•Andrew Poklepovic, MD, is the principal investi-gator of a pilot study to test whether patients who take lapatinib while receiving radiation therapy to treat metastases in the bone will have lower con-centrations of transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha), which causes cancer cells to multiply faster and may play a role in cancer cell survival after radiation therapy. Based on the research of Paul Dent, PhD

• Laurie Cuttino, MD, is principal investigator for a Phase I trial testing the safety of giving cancer patients hydroxychloroquine while they are receiv-ing radiation treatment. When the best dose of hydroxychloroquine is determined from this trial, future trials will be conducted to determine if hydroxychloroquine makes treatment with radiation therapy more effective at reducing tumor growth.

•Andrew Poklepovic, MD, is the principal investi-gator of a Phase I trial to determine the safety and effectiveness of treating patients with pemetrexed and sorafenib. The trial is being tested in patients with solid tumors. Pre-clinical research conducted at Massey suggested that the drug combination may be effective in treating multiple types of cancers.

Pave the way for notable scientific discoveries by providing support for our exceptional research faculty:

•William C. Broaddus, MD, PhD, led researchers in the discovery of a mechanism found in glioblastoma (GBM), the most common and aggressive form of brain cancer cells, that reduces the cancer’s ability to invade healthy brain tissue. The collaboration with researchers at Old Dominion University was pub-lished in the Journal of Neurosurgery, and is leading to new therapies for this difficult-to-treat disease.

•Steven Grant, MD, led a team of scientists that included Mohamed Rahmani, PhD, to uncover a new therapy for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Published in the journal Blood, the study found the two drugs obatoclax and sorafenib work better together to increase cell death and cause less damage to surrounding tissue, than when the drugs were given individually.

•Grant’s team also discovered a new combina-tion therapy for multiple myeloma that uses the drugs obatoclax and flavopiridol working together through different mechanisms to promote apoptosis, a form of cell death. The research was published online in the journal Cancer Research.

•Researchers, led by Devanand Sarkar, MBBS, PhD, developed the first mouse model to demonstrate the role of the cancer promoting gene, Astrocyte elevated gene-1 (AEG-1), in liver cancer. This model could lead to novel therapies for the disease and moving for-ward, researchers plan to use the model to investigate fat metabolism and obesity-related diseases as well.

•A multi-institutional research study has uncovered a protein function that may lead to unique treat-ments for lung cancer, one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Paul B. Fisher, MPh, PhD, was part of the study published in the journal Genes & Development that discovered that the protein Bax Inhibitor-1 (BI-1) regulates autophagy, one of cancer cells’ most important survival mechanisms. By reducing BI-1 levels, autophagy is prevented, leaving cells vulnerable to common treatments.

•Led by Kristoffer Valerie, PhD, a group of Massey researchers discovered a new function of BRCA1 gene mutations that could refine treatments. The findings suggest that caution should be exercised when targeting BRCA1 for breast and ovarian cancer therapies.

Conduct research to understand how to better educate, prevent, diagnose and to control cancer:

•Jennifer Elston Lafata, PhD, published a study in American Journal of Preventive Medicine that revealed that patients who annually visit their doctor for check-ups may not receive half of the preventive screening tests and counseling services that could benefit their health.

•Richard Brown, PhD, led an international study of early stage breast cancer patients to understand their preference in regard to their level of involvement in deciding their care. Reported in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, the study demonstrates the impor-tance of oncologists understanding their patients’ preferred level of involvement as it is directly related to the patients’ satisfaction with their care.

•In a study, Yi Ning, MD, ScD, found that nearly half of cancer survivors died from conditions other than cancer. The results were presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting and showed that only 51 percent of cancer survivors died from cancer and that the longer the patients survived, the more likely they were to die from another disease.

•Patients who use an interactive personal health record (IPHR) are almost twice as likely to be up to date with clinical preventive services as those who don’t, according to a study led by Alexander Krist, MD, MPH. Published in the journal Annals of Family Medicine, the study found that after 16 months, 25 percent of those using IPHR were up to date with all recommended preventive services.


Increase the breadth and depth of externally funded basic, translational and clinical research:

•Obtained peer-reviewed, national level, sponsored research project funding totaling $29,754,455, representing 86 percent of total research funding.

•Obtained $13,130,492 from the National Cancer Institute to support 57 research projects.

•Forty-four percent of peer-reviewed funding and 38 percent of total funding was obtained through grants from the NCI.

Support research faculty in obtaining new funding to pursue promising concepts:

•Laura Siminoff, PhD, was awarded a four-year grant totaling $2,239,329 from the National Institutes of Health to develop a training program and to mentor the next generation of social scientists and leaders in Cancer Prevention and Control research.

•Charles E. Chalfant, PhD, received a $577,832 grant from the National Institutes of Health to purchase a mass spectrometry instrument in the Lipidomics core, which will be used to support the research of many investigators.

•Steven Grant, MD, received continued financial support from the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for his world renowned work in discovering new therapies for hematological malignancies.

Provide internal seed and bridge funding to allow initiation or continuation of promising research projects:

•A total of $385,679 in funding was provided for 13 pilot project grants for promising studies involving 35 researchers.

Continue expanding administrative, research and technological infrastructure to accommodate growth in research enterprise:

•Expanded clinical research staffing to meet the needs of clinical trials operations, ensuring Massey’s clinical trials operations are performing at the highest levels with the best practices in place in areas such as quality assurance, data integrity and regulatory compliance.

•Grew research and finance administration staff to support additional projects funded by the Tobacco Commission and the acquisition of managing all pre-award activities for our members in the Radiation Oncology Department. Grant submis-sion activity has increased as competition for NIH dollars increases, requiring investigators to submit more grant proposals to be successful in finding funding for their research.

•In collaboration with the Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA), Lynne Penberthy, PhD, expanded the Clinical Trials Eligibility Database (CTED), developed within one of Massey’s shared re-sources to support other disease areas throughout the VCU Health Sciences campus. CTED will be made available to other areas conducting clinical trials.

Advocating for state funding from the General Assembly involves

passionate volunteers and Advisory Board members, dedicated

Massey faculty and committed partners in the Legislature.

Long known as an exceptional resource for the Richmond region, VCU Massey Cancer Center is

also dedicated to extending the most advanced cancer treatments and innovative research throughout Virginia. Increases in support from the General Assembly, along with funding from the Tobacco Indemnification and Community Revitalization Commission (TICRC) have helped broaden Massey’s reach far beyond Richmond, to almost every corner of the Commonwealth. This past fiscal year, numerous initiatives and programs were undertaken, resulting in an enormous expansion in Massey’s ability to connect with Virginians across the Commonwealth, providing critical education and resources, and helping foster improved prevention and detection of cancer, as well as better quality of life for cancer patients during and after treatment.

Highlights of Massey’s efforts to reach the communities of the Commonwealth include:

The Massey Alliance celebrated ten years of young

professional advocacy and support for cancer research

with the 10th anniversary of their signature fundraiser,

Moonlight Magic, presented by Skanska. (Left-right)

Committee members Courtney Matthews, Sally Ashby and

Pamela Hutzler helped lead the volunteer committee.

When 40,000 runners and walkers hit the street for the

Ukrop’s Monument Avenue 10k, nearly 1,600 did so with

a mission of raising funds and awareness for Massey by

participating in the HDL, Inc. Massey Challenge. With

participation and reach extending well beyond Richmond,

the Massey Challenge and its partnership with Sports

Backers, Inc. is enormously valuable.
