Organization

The Kenner Family Research Fund (KFRF), founded in 2013, supports committed activities to develop an early detection protocol for pancreatic cancer. We are more optimistic now than we have ever been about the future of this field. Just as significant progress has been made in the early detection and subsequent treatment for breast, colon, and prostate cancers, we know that advancements are forthcoming for individuals diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Each year KFRF has expanded its leadership role in creating opportunities for experts in related interprofessional fields to collaborate in strategic innovation and research.
