New Name Recognizes Depth
and Breadth of the UCCCC
The new year represents a
significant event for many
people. It signifies a new
start and an opportunity
for new commitments. For
The University of Chicago
Cancer Research Center,
the new year marks the date
we officially changed our
name to The University of
Chicago Comprehensive
Cancer Center (UCCCC).
The modification was much more than the substitution of a single word. The
new name acknowledges the National Cancer Institute’s (NCI’s) continued
recognition of the depth and breadth of the UCCCC’s programs and underscores the center’s capacity and commitment to pursue the abundance of new
opportunities in cancer prevention, detection, treatment, and survivorship.
The name change also fits our times—a period in which breakthroughs in
genetics, technology, and molecular biology help power a revolution in
comprehensive cancer care.
This annual report focuses on how the UCCCC is capitalizing on its groundbreaking research and leveraging these advances to create customized care for
all cancer patients. In the past year, UCCCC members introduced innovative
combinations of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgical therapies to enhance
patient outcomes, used advanced computational techniques to analyze the
genetic compositions of individual tumors, and identified molecular targets to
make drug therapies more precise and effective. Our researchers investigated
innovative ways to halt the spread of cancer to other parts of the body, to help
the human immune system seek and destroy cancer cells, and to enable cancer
survivors to live longer and preserve quality of life.
Our members also expanded our understanding of how cancer stem cells
multiply and mature and the roles of specific proteins in regulating cell death
and proliferation. They developed community partnerships that promoted
healthy living and cancer prevention, and they determined how environmental,
lifestyle, and social factors can make patients more susceptible to particular
cancers. They analyzed treatment regimens to maximize effectiveness and
reduce harmful physical and psychological impacts. Our members also
continued to explore the use of molecular-scale microdiscs to destroy tumors,
the recruitment of antibodies and modified viruses to carry anticancer agents
directly to individual tumor cells, and the capacity of advanced imaging to
detect pre-cancerous lesions less than several hundred microns in diameter.
The prospects of the fast-paced evolution of our understanding of the
biological mechanisms underlying cancer and more effective approaches for
tackling all aspects of the disease are invigorating. UCCCC members lead the
vanguard of the transformation in cancer research. They are At the Forefront
of Discovery™, bringing new hope to our nation in which one-out-of-two men
and one-out-of-three women will be diagnosed with cancer during his or
her lifetime.

CCTO Expands
The UCCCC’s Cancer Clinical Trials
Office (CCTO) provides oversight, quality control, protocol
tracking, and management for
cancer clinical trials at UChicago.
Beginning in fiscal year 20102011, CCTO will manage cancer
trials from four new units—
the Departments of Surgery,
Radiation and Cellular Oncology,
and Radiology, and the Section of
Gynecologic Oncology, in addition
to the Department of Medicine.
UCCCC members received 71 ARRA grants in FY 2009–2010 and
were involved in 700 new and ongoing research projects.
Daniel Haraf, MD, MS
M. Eileen Dolan, PhD
This past fiscal year, the Federal government
gave UChicago researchers a huge vote of confidence by awarding them 196 grants through the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
The nearly $97 million in ARRA funding provided
to UChicago will not only accelerate the pace
of scientific discovery, but will also enable the
University to retain and recruit staff to support
research projects.
Federal agencies, such as the National
Institutes of Health (NIH), were particularly
generous to UCCCC members in awarding
ARRA funding. Forty-four of our members
received 71 grants totaling $28.5 million.
The projects funded through ARRA grants range
from developing a fast, inexpensive way to create
mouse models to study human genetic diseases,
to developing drugs to help the immune system
fight cancer, to determining the diagnostic accuracy of handheld oral cancer screening devices,
to training African American and Hispanic
undergraduates to research and eliminate
health disparities in underserved populations.
In addition to ARRA grants, UCCCC members
were also involved in more than 700 new and
ongoing research projects. These projects
are supported through grants from NIH and
its institutes, including the National Cancer
Institute, as well as the American Cancer Society,
The University of Chicago Cancer Research
Foundation, and the Cancer Research Foundation.
Among the newly funded grant projects
in fiscal year 2009–2010 were:
Rational Generation of Directed
Protein-Capture Reagents
Shohei Koide, PhD, professor of biochemistry and
molecular biology, and his team are establishing a
faster, easier approach for generating high-performance research reagents, which help discriminate
n
cancer.uchicago.edu
normal cells from diseased cells and tissues.
The project is built on an innovative proteinengineering concept, termed Affinity Clamping,
that Dr. Koide’s group recently established. “This
innovative and powerful technology will fill a
major void in the currently available molecular
tools and will have a major impact on virtually all
areas of molecular biomedical sciences, diagnosis, and drug development,” said Dr. Koide.
Replication Study of Breast Cancer
Susceptibility Genes in Blacks
Dezheng Huo, MD, PhD, assistant professor
of health studies, and colleagues are translating recent advances in genetics to benefit
women who are at risk of developing an aggressive form of breast cancer at a young age. “The
study will accurately define genetic risks for
women in the African Diaspora, which will
lead to better clinical risk assessment and the
development of more effective strategies for
prevention, early detection, and treatment of
breast cancer for all women,” said Dr. Huo.
“Aberrant control
of hematopoiesis
is the underlying
cause of many
diseases including
immune
deficiency, anemia,
autoimmunity,
and leukemia or
lymphoma,”
Dr. Kee explained.
Transcriptional Control of Hematopoiesis
Barbara Kee, PhD, associate professor of
pathology, and her research team are determining
the molecular mechanisms that control hematopoiesis—the formation of blood cells in the body—
with a particular emphasis on the white blood
cell system. “Aberrant control of hematopoiesis is
the underlying cause of many diseases including
immune deficiency, anemia, autoimmunity, and
leukemia or lymphoma,” Dr. Kee explained.
Genetic Determinants Associated with
Pemetrexed Response and Toxicity
M. Eileen Dolan, PhD, professor of medicine, and her colleagues are identifying lung
cancer patients at risk for toxicities or lack of
response following treatment with the chemotherapeutic agent pemetrexed. “Ultimately, we
hope to find predictive markers of pemetrexed
response and toxicity,” Dr. Dolan said.

Research Discoveries
Translate into Comprehensive
Cancer Care
The UCCCC is committed to
improving the lives of our cancer
patients and their families.
Stacy Lindau, MD
Stacey Sandbo, NP
The UCCCC places a high priority on the long-term care of cancer survivors who
often face physical and psychological difficulties following their treatment.
Translating scientific breakthroughs into targeted
therapies and state-of-the-art procedures represents
a coordinated endeavor among UCCCC clinicians
and scientists who are deciphering the biological
processes that control cancer development.
Our researchers are transforming their knowledge
of genetic alterations and cell signaling pathways
into medical advances that improve cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship.
Cancer is influenced by our genes, environment,
and lifestyle. While choosing the right health and
6
dietary behaviors can help reduce cancer risk,
UCCCC researchers are working diligently to
develop advanced screening procedures to detect
precancerous lesions before they even become
cancer. Gregory Karczmar, PhD, professor of radiology, has developed a groundbreaking technique
using magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy (MRIS) to detect ductal carcinoma in situ
(DCIS) in mouse mammary glands. Early detection of DCIS, a precursor to invasive breast cancer,
will allow clinicians to prevent cancer progression
by identifying and treating suspect lesions.
UCCCC experts, including Olufunmilayo Olopade,
MBBS, FACP, the Walter L. Palmer Professor of
Medicine and Human Genetics, associate dean
for global health, and director of the Cancer Risk
Clinic, are also developing genetic tests to assess
an individual’s risk for hereditary cancers, including
breast, colon, ovarian, and pancreatic cancers.
Once identified, high-risk patients can be monitored closely and screened periodically for early
detection of cancers when they are most curable.
Early cancer detection requires advanced imaging
technologies that are extremely precise and
accurate. The UCCCC is developing new imaging
techniques and procedures that enable scientists to see deeper into cells and understand the
complex biological processes underlying cancer.
These advances are improving cancer diagnosis.
For example, Xiaochuan Pan, PhD, professor of
radiology, is developing new diagnostic imaging
approaches for computed tomography (CT), a
widely used technology that computes multidimensional images from X-ray images taken
around the patient. His research will enable the
production of higher quality images from less CT
data, which increases diagnostic accuracy while
subjecting patients to less radiation. These novel
advances in CT and other imaging tools allow
UCCCC clinicians to detect cancers earlier and
monitor treatment responses more closely.
Through basic laboratory discoveries, the UCCCC
is designing and delivering the most targeted
358
and customized treatment options for patients.
Researchers in the Department of Radiation and
Cellular Oncology, including Chairman Ralph
Weichselbaum, MD, are identifying the genetic
profile of tumors resistant to radiation therapy.
With this information, clinicians will soon be
able to determine which patients may or may not
respond to therapy and devise individualized treatment plans. Similarly, UCCCC researchers are
working on the Chicago Cancer Genome Project
to develop comprehensive genetic data from 1,000
tumors. By correlating this information with patient
outcomes, researchers will be able to predict how
cancers behave and translate these discoveries
into diagnostic tools and personalized therapies.
The Childhood
Cancer Survivors
Center follows
patients after
treatment and
screens for future
risks to minimize
the impact of
childhood cancer
therapies.
The UCCCC also places a high priority on the
long-term care of cancer survivors who often face
physical and psychological difficulties because of
the toxicities of their treatment. The Childhood
Cancer Survivors Center follows patients after
treatment and screens for future risks to minimize the impact of childhood cancer therapies. The Breast Cancer Survivorship Program
helps women deal with the long-term impacts
of breast cancer. UCCCC members, through
the Program in Integrated Sexual Medicine
(PRISM) for Women and Girls with Cancer,
combine research, prevention, and treatment
with outreach and education for female patients
who may be encountering sexual problems.
Through these and other efforts, the UCCCC is
increasing the quality of life for cancer survivors.
Open Cancer Clinical Trials at UChicago
Cancer clinical trials test the safety and
effectiveness of new treatments for cancer
in select patients before the treatments
can be made widely available. UChicago
performs more clinical trials than any
other facility in Illinois. (as of 8/18/10)

Personalized Medicine
Moves Within Reach
Much of today’s medicine is reactive, where
diagnosis and treatment are administered
only after patients become ill.
The UCCCC is pursuing innovative research that
is transforming our understanding of cancer and
is paving the way for a new era of predictive,
personalized medicine.
Personalized medicine, which considers an individual’s genetic makeup and the genetic and biological
characteristics of their tumor, will enable physicians
to identify people who are at greater risk for cancer,
determine how patients may respond to various treatments, and guide the development of customized
therapies for both cancer prevention and treatment.
Certain genetic variants and abnormalities are known
to increase cancer susceptibility. Our researchers are
using advanced tools and techniques to identify these
genetic changes. The UCCCC’s world-renowned
leukemia team is using a systems biology approach to
unravel the genetic complexities of therapy-related
acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML), a particularly cruel
and fatal disease caused by cancer treatment itself.
Systems biology is an emerging field that focuses
on how multiple genes or proteins work together in
networks to regulate biological systems as a whole,
such as blood development. Led by Michelle M. Le
Beau, PhD, professor of medicine and director of
the UCCCC, the fight against t-AML represents a
multidisciplinary effort that engages the expertise
of clinical oncologists, geneticists, biologists, and
computer scientists. Their discoveries will allow
8
clinicians to develop personalized therapies and
genetic tests to identify patients at risk for t-AML.
UCCCC researchers also perform genome-wide
association (GWA) studies to determine cancer
risk and predict response to therapy. These
studies involve the analysis of genetic variations across the entire human genome to identify
alterations that are associated with disease or
specific conditions. By identifying factors associated with poor prognosis, researchers will be
able to develop more effective therapies that
specifically target these genetic alterations.
Similarly, our members excel in the development
of personalized medicine by conducting GWA
studies to identify genetic variations associated
with drug response and adverse therapeutic side
effects. Patients may display a wide range in drug
responses and side effects because, for example,
they may have genetic alterations that affect the
expression of enzymes that eliminate specific drugs
from their systems. In one study, genetic differences between people of European and African
ancestry were attributed to population differences in drug response. These pharmacogenetic
studies will allow clinicians to predict how patients
respond to chemotherapeutic drugs and ultimately
develop personalized treatment plans that maximize drug response and minimize side effects.

At the UCCCC, our researchers are revolutionizing personalized
cancer care by developing genetic tests that determine cancer
risk, creating new targeted cancer drugs that are being tested in
clinical trials, and identifying new genetic markers that predict
which patients will most likely to benefit from these drugs.

In addition to new signage recognizing the new
name of the UCCCC, construction is well under
way on the futuristic New Hospital Pavilion.
The 10-story, 1.2 million-square-foot facility,
scheduled for completion in early 2013,
has an innovative and efficient design that
will help enhance collaboration and interaction among clinicians while providing a
haven for patients and families dealing with
complex illnesses, including cancer.
Designed by renowned architect Rafael Viñoly,
the seventh floor will feature a Sky Lobby—an
elevated public space that includes central
reception, family waiting areas, a chapel, gift
shop, dining areas, and other public spaces.
Its floor-to-ceiling glass walls will provide
expansive views of the UChicago campus,
as well as Lake Michigan, Washington Park,
and the downtown Chicago skyline.
The New Hospital Pavilion spans two city blocks
on 57th Street and will connect to Comer
Children’s Hospital and the outpatient Duchossois
Center for Advanced Medicine (DCAM).
A new 24/7 cancer unit opened in July 2009
making it more convenient for patients requiring
care. Instead of waiting in the emergency room
or in the Infusion Therapy Suite, cancer patients
can visit the Oncology Evaluation Unit in Bernard
A. Mitchell Hospital to receive treatments,
including fluid and electrolyte replacements,
lab draws, injections, blood transfusions, and
antibiotics. The unit has 12-beds and delivers
a hybrid of inpatient and outpatient care. More
than 1,000 patient visits were recorded in the
Oncology Evaluation Unit in its first year.
Also celebrating its first year in operation was the
The Gwen and Jules Knapp Center for Biomedical
Discovery (KCBD), which opened in June 2009.
n
cancer.uchicago.edu
The 10-story glass-walled facility provides
research space to about 50 UCCCC researchers.
It has dedicated core space for the Genomics,
Transgenic Mouse/ES Cell, and Integrated
Microscopy Facilities. KCBD houses the Flow
Cytometry Satellite Facility, Ludwig Center for
Metastasis Research, and Institute for Genomics
and Systems Biology. It is also the setting for the
hematology and oncology research programs for
the Departments of Medicine and Pediatrics.
These facilities serve as the backdrop to the
superior, groundbreaking research by our internationally recognized teams of investigators.
“Efficient implementation of team-based research
studies requires contiguous space to house multidisciplinary faculty and staff, as well as integrated
dry and wet laboratory space with flexible configurations,” said Habibul Ahsan, MD, MMedSc,
associate director for population research for the
UCCCC and professor of health studies, medicine, and human genetics. “The well-planned and
state-of-the-art environment that KCBD provides
to these facilities has already begun to promote
interdisciplinary population research on molecular
and genetic epidemiology, thus aiding our effort to
discover novel genes and gene-environment interactions in cancer risk, prevention, and survival.”
The New Hospital
Pavilion spans two
city blocks on 57th
Street and will
connect to Comer
Children’s Hospital
and the outpatient
Duchossois Center
for Advanced
Medicine
(DCAM).
Over the past year, Dr. Ahsan and UChicago
research teams have completed a large, genomewide association study of breast cancer, analyzing
DNA samples from 7,000 women from the U.S.,
Canada, Germany, and Australia. “We used stateof-the-art molecular genomic technologies as well
as sophisticated computing and statistical tools to
decipher millions of common genomic variations
in each of the DNA samples,” he said. As a result,
the team has identified novel genomic imprints
associated with early onset breast cancer. They
are now relying on their new, adjacent wet and
dry laboratory spaces to confirm the findings.
11
Advanced Technologies
Speed Discovery
The evolution of sophisticated technologies
is accelerating the pace of discovery
and cancer care at UChicago.
Richard Jones, PhD, assistant professor in the
Ben May Department for Cancer Research, and his
colleagues have developed the micro-western
array, a new, proprietary technology that enables
researchers to examine hundreds of proteins simultaneously and obtain a comprehensive view
of their intricate networks.
This technology may help explain why some tumors
develop resistance to current therapies and could
open the door to a much greater understanding of
other diseases.
UChicago’s Institute for Genomics and Systems
Biology (IGSB), under the direction of Kevin White,
PhD, the James and Karen Frank Family Professor of
Human Genetics and professor of ecology and
evolution, is pushing its research boundaries. IGSB
researchers are using the latest in gene-sequencing
technology and computational analysis to collect and
investigate genetic sequences and variations of every
gene expressed by 1,000 tumors. They are identifying
genetic patterns within tumors that may help predict
how cancers behave. Many experts believe such
information will increasingly guide treatment.
Charles Pelizzari, PhD, associate professor of
radiation and cellular oncology, and his team of
medical physicists are investigating the latest in
advanced, image-guided radiation equipment and
procedures. For example, they are optimizing
intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), which
uses computer-generated images to create 3D tumor
models. IMRT allows clinicians to alter the radiation
dose according to body tissue thickness to ensure
that healthy tissues receive only a modest dose or
none at all.
12
As advanced technologies become more intricate,
robust, and multifaceted, they also become more
costly to purchase and maintain. The UCCCC and
the Biological Sciences Division work together to
develop centralized centers of expertise and provide
researchers access to a comprehensive set of
technical resources. The UCCCC supports 12 of the
more than 20 shared research facilities serving a
variety of scientific disciplines. The newly formed
Research Resources Oversight Committee (RROC),
chaired by UCCCC Director Michelle M. Le Beau,
PhD, works with Jim Schilling, PhD, the new
director of the Office of Shared Research Facilities
(OSRF), to manage and oversee these facilities.
UChicago frequently upgrades its shared research
facilities and resources to provide scientists with
state-of-the-art technologies. In the past year, for
example, Anne Sperling, PhD, associate professor
of medicine, and the scientific director of the Flow
Cytometry Facility, acquired a $420,000 Amnis
Image Stream Analyzer, supported by NCI American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds. The
advanced technology sorts and analyzes individual
cells by guiding particles into a single, fluid stream
that passes through a detection system that measures
physical and/or chemical characteristics of each
particle. The technology is superior to earlier
analyzers because of, for example, its enhanced
ability to measure genetic abnormalities associated
with leukemia, breast cancer, and other cancers.
UCCCC researchers are taking full advantage of
technologies like flow cytometry, IMRT, genesequencing, advanced computational analyses, and
micro-western arrays to expand our scientific
knowledge and shorten the time required to translate
discoveries into clinical application.
The UCCCC and the Biological Sciences Division
work together to develop centralized centers of
expertise and provide researchers access to a
comprehensive set of technical resources.
Leading-edge technologies help advance
innovative ideas and discoveries that
translate into superior patient care.

For more than 5 years, the UCCCC, in collaboration with The University of Chicago Medical
Center (UCMC), has built partnerships with
local communities and has diligently sought to
understand and meet the needs of its neighbors
in Hyde Park and the surrounding communities.
Essential to the UCCCC’s outreach efforts
is an innovative program called Community
Engagement Centering on Solutions
(CECOS)—recently renamed the UCCCC
Office of Community Engagement and Cancer
Disparities with Karen E. Kim, MD, MS, as its
new director—which enhances public awareness about cancer prevention, early cancer
detection and control, the role of genetics in
cancer, and the importance of participation in
clinical trials. Not only does the program educate
individual participants, but also provides the
skills necessary so that community leaders can
continue to disseminate important health information long after the events are completed.
During the 2009–2010 fiscal year, CECOS
hosted three public forums—two on cervical
cancer and the human papillomavirus (HPV)
and one on hepatitis and liver cancer.
The forums on cervical cancer and HPV, called
“Our Daughters, Our Duty” were held in
November 2009 at Richard J. Daley College, on
Chicago’s Southwest Side, and in March 2010 at
Kennedy-King College, on Chicago’s South Side.
In each case, about 100 people attended and
asked questions covering topics from signs and

In May 2010, CECOS hosted “Break the
Silence: Let’s Stop Hepatitis and Liver Cancer
in our Communities!” at Truman College on
Chicago’s North Side. The forum focused on
Hepatitis B and C, their connection to liver
cancer, and their impacts on the people of Asian
and Pacific Islander heritages. The forum also
included personal testimony from community
health workers and liver cancer patients.

“The education gained from these events is
definitely bidirectional, valuable, and lasting,”
said Dr. Kim, UChicago associate professor
of medicine, who led the hepatitis and liver
cancer event. “Sharing stories, teaching,
and learning from community members will
allow us to go back to the lab and address
barriers using the perspective of those whose
lives we are determined to improve.”
In the Bronzeville neighborhood, CECOS
continued its program at the Bronzeville Farmers
Market to promote cancer prevention and
healthy eating. CECOS also participated in
Pearl Fest, an annual outdoor festival hosted
by Little Black Pearl, an organization that aims
to empower children through art and entrepreneurship. At the August 2009 event, CECOS
provided dozens of men with free prostate
screenings through a UCCCC collaboration
with Clear Channel Communications, Inc.,
and the Illinois Department of Public Health.
The UCCCC reached out to the community
in many other ways over the past fiscal year,
including providing cooks for Real Men Cook–
Chicago, planting a garden at the Emmett Louis
Till Math & Science Academy on Chicago’s
South Side, distributing food to the needy
at local food pantries, and raising money for
cancer research. The UChicago Walk and Roll
team, led by M. Eileen Dolan, PhD, professor
of medicine, and Lee Baksas of the UCCCC
staff surpassed its fundraising goal of $10,000
by raising $12,500 for the American Cancer
Society. The combined total of $17,600 for all
six UChicago teams was in the top 10 overall
and #1 among participating not-for-profits.
With its new name and Dr. Kim taking
over responsibilities as program director,
the new UCCCC Office of Community
Engagement and Cancer Disparities will
increase its reach and positive impact on
the community during the coming years.

Report from the
Cancer Registry
Making appropriate decisions in oncology
and public health is based on reliable data
collection of cancer incidence, treatment,
stage-specific survival, and end results.
At the UCCCC, the Cancer Registry Unit—a
major component of our American College of
Surgeons-approved program and National Cancer
Institute (NCI)-designated Comprehensive Cancer
Center—has documented the impact of cancer
by gathering detailed information on patients
treated at The University of Chicago Medical
Center (UCMC) for this disease since the 1920s.
Early cancer registry
books often included
handwritten details
about a patient’s name,
account, and diagnosis.
16
Cancer Registry Manager Cassie Simon, CTR, leads
a team of data management specialists to ensure
that complete, accurate, and timely abstracting
is achieved for each oncology patient diagnosed
or treated at the UCMC. Patient demographics,
primary site, histology, stage of disease, treatment, and outcomes are collected and recorded
in a designated, specifically configured database.
Quality control mechanisms support the meaningful
evaluation and analysis of these vital statistics that
are provided in customized reports for our cancer
researchers and administrative staff, as well as
state and national cancer surveillance programs.
In the past year, the Cancer Registry successfully
completed 63 requests for data, which were used
in epidemiologic and health
disparity grant proposals, childhood pediatric cancer survivor
studies, and cancer program
planning initiatives, such as
the expansion of our physician
resident program and pathology
labs, Breast Cancer Consortium, Translational Data
Mart (TraM) database, and Cancer Survivors Day, as
well as several cutting-edge cancer research studies.
In addition to incidence reporting, the Registry
also plays an active role on the Cancer Committee.
Chaired by Kevin Roggin, MD, FACS, associate
professor of surgery, the committee provides oversight
and promotes excellence among our interdisciplinary
cancer departments and ensures that the standards for our American College of Surgeons cancer
program accreditation are maintained. Recognized by
U.S. News & World Report and currently ranked #15
in the nation—the highest ranking of any institution
in Illinois—our cancer program remains unwavering
in our ongoing commitment to provide high-quality
cancer care to our patients and community.

A Focus on Head
& Neck Cancer
The Head and Neck Cancer Program is
dedicated to comprehensive care that includes
screening, prevention, treatment, and
rehabilitation, and combines the expertise
and resources of a multidisciplinary team.
The University of Chicago Medical Center (UCMC)
is an internationally renowned, high-volume
referral center for the treatment of head and
neck cancer, including cancers of the sinuses,
mouth, tongue, tonsils, pharynx, larynx, upper
esophagus, thyroid, and salivary glands.
Our research has pioneered concepts that are now
considered standards of care, such as concurrent
chemotherapy and radiation therapy (chemoradiotherapy), that result in preservation of critical organs
and their function, such as speech and swallowing.
Studies conducted at the UCMC have shown that
chemoradiotherapy provided complete control of
locally advanced head and neck cancer for more
than 90% of patients and provided a 3-year survival
rate of 70%. These rates are twice the survival rates
for advanced disease treated with traditional therapy.
The UCMC Head and Neck Program is among
the best because our clinical and research teams
continue to refine therapies and challenge the
norm to obtain the best patient outcomes. Our
multidisciplinary tumor board meets exclusively
to discuss head and neck cancer cases. Members
of the Head and Neck Tumor Board represent
many specialties, including medical oncology,
endocrinology, radiation oncology, surgery,
pathology, neuroradiology, dentistry, social work,
nursing, and speech and swallowing therapy.
Our medical oncology team is co-directed by
Everett Vokes, MD, who has had a highly visible
career in clinical and translational research involving
head and neck cancer and the interaction of chemotherapy and radiation, and Ezra Cohen, MD, who
n
cancer.uchicago.edu
is also an expert in head and neck cancer as well as
in developing novel cancer therapies. The medical
oncology team’s work has shown that intense
treatment combining radiation and chemotherapy
can bring locally advanced head and neck cancer
under control and improve survival. They have also
developed targeted therapies designed to minimize
side effects and maximize tumor destruction.
From Research to Practice
Our research has found that patients with advanced
tongue cancers may be spared total glossectomy (removal of the tongue) through innovative chemoradiotherapy techniques (Stenson, et
al., Laryngoscope 120:93-9, 2010). In addition,
we have established techniques that minimize
the surgical risk and postoperative effects of
neck dissection (removal of lymph nodes for
pathologic analysis) after chemoradiotherapy
while gaining the most information for prognosis (Langerman, et al., Arch Otolaryngol Head
Neck Surg. 135:876-880, 2009; Arch Otolaryngol
Head Neck Surg. 135:1133-1136, 2009).
Our investigators have applied novel molecularly
targeted agents to the advanced disease setting.
They were the first to combine a new class of drug,
epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors,
with chemoradiotherapy and demonstrated that the
regimen was well-tolerated with high cure rates in
patients with Stage III or IV disease (Cohen, et al.,
JCO 28:3336-3343, 2010). In addition, investigators have identified groups of patients who may
respond poorly to EGFR inhibitors and are developing new therapies to treat these individuals.

Early Detection and Prevention
The UCMC Head and Neck Cancer Program is
a leader in integrating novel agents for treatment
and prevention. Mark Lingen, DDS, PhD, has
discovered that blocking angiogenesis (new blood
vessel growth) in precancerous lesions can prevent
the development of oral cancer. These findings are
now being extended to clinical trials for individuals
at greatest risk for developing oral cavity cancers.
Dr. Lingen and Elizabeth Blair, MD, are using new
technologies, such as autofluorescence, to detect
precancerous lesions in the mouth and throat. In our
High Risk Oral Cancer Clinic, we offer extensive
screenings to patients with suspicious lesions and
to those with an elevated risk of a second cancer.
Our patients are educated about the signs and
symptoms of head and neck cancer, as well as ways
to reduce contributing risk factors, such as quitting smoking and reducing alcohol consumption.
Hope for the Most Complex Cases
Patients with recurrent or persistent cancer are the
most challenging. For many of these patients, the
latest organ-sparing therapies have not been
20
effective. The UCMC offers additional options.
Daniel Haraf, MD, MS, is a pioneer in second
courses of radiation therapy, something previously
considered impossible due to its severe side effects.
Our medical oncology team, including Drs. Vokes,
Cohen, Tanguy Seiwert, MD, and Victoria Villaflor,
MD, help craft treatment strategies for the toughest
cases. These treatments include advanced,
computer-directed intensity-modulated radiation
therapy (IMRT) which delivers radiation to a precise
area while sparing surrounding normal tissue.
Our head and neck surgeons, including Kerstin
Stenson, MD, Louis Portugal, MD, and Dr. Blair,
specialize in the complex removal of tumors
while leaving intact critical blood vessels, nerves,
and other structures. In some cases, new organs
are created using tissue transferred from other
parts of the body. The reconstructive plastic
surgery team is led by Lawrence Gottlieb, MD.
With our knowledgeable experts, state-of-theart technologies, and leading-edge research,
The University of Chicago is an international
leader in head and neck cancer cases, especially
those referred by other institutions. Our team is

Team Approach Creates
Top-Notch Head and Neck
Cancer Treatment Outcomes
“We have learned that if we are more
aggressive with our therapy upfront, there
is a better outcome for our patients.”
— Elizabeth Blair, MD
The University of Chicago is renowned for
its innovative treatments and better-thanaverage outcomes for head and neck cancer
patients, especially those treated with concurrent chemotherapy and radiation therapy,
a technique pioneered at UChicago.
Studies conducted at The University of Chicago
Medical Center found that this therapy, now a
standard of care, has provided complete local
control of advanced head and neck cancer for more
than 90% of UChicago patients and an 80% longterm survival rate without disease progression.
That is why, when a Fort Wayne, Indiana,
orthodontist had a second recurrence of
head and neck cancer, he made the 3 hour
drive to The University of Chicago.
“I wouldn’t be alive today if I hadn’t come to
UChicago,” said James Williams, DDS.
It was the summer of 2002, when Williams
was 55 years old, that he found a nodule in his
neck. Because he did not have any other symptoms, such as swallowing problems, he waited 3
months before he saw a doctor. He was diagnosed
with squamous cell carcinoma in his tonsil. He
had surgery and 7 weeks of radiation therapy,
during which he never missed a day of work.
Eighteen months later, he had trouble swallowing and learned his cancer had returned.
Williams underwent a supraepiglottic laryngectomy, which is surgery to remove part of the
epiglottis and the voice box. Less than a year
later, the cancer had spread to his tongue.
It was fall 2005 when Williams first came
to UChicago. Radiation oncologist Daniel J.
Haraf, MD, MS, and medical oncologist Ezra
Cohen, MD, administered a second course
of radiation and chemotherapy, which has left
22
Williams cancer free, but 3 years of cancer
treatments and surgery resulted in multiple lifethreatening infections and damage to the neck
tissue making it difficult to swallow or talk.
Head and neck surgeon Elizabeth Blair, MD,
and plastic surgeon Lawrence Gottlieb, MD,
worked together to perform a laryngectomy
and reconstruct Williams’ neck and esophagus
grafting tissue from his thigh. Speech and swallowing therapist Ellen MacCracken, MS, immediately began creating a rehabilitation plan.
“So after 3½ years of not being able to eat by
mouth, I got that function back and no longer
have a feeding tube protruding out of my
belly,” said Williams. “From a patient’s perspective that was a huge improvement in the
quality of my life. There are not many facilities that can provide this level of care.”
Williams, who now uses voice prosthesis, is very
active. “I’m a Type A personality. The worst thing
you can do to me is make me stay still,” he said.
Williams’ wife Diane said she cannot give enough
praise to the UChicago staff. “Everyone from
the physicians to the nurses and other members
of the healthcare team were really efficient and
helpful,” she said. “They all communicated with
each other and taught me what I needed to do to
change Jim’s bandages and give him other treatments while he was at home. The doctors and
staff regularly checked in with us—whether we
contacted them or they contacted us—and they
responded to our e-mail questions within 24
hours. Living 3 hours from Chicago, communication in every way has been important to us.”
The success story is even better for retired
North Shore lawyer John Lynch, who has
been cancer free for nearly 2 years.
Already a survivor of melanoma, Lynch is acutely
aware of his body. In October 2008, when Lynch
was shaving and noticed a bump the size of a
raisin on his neck, he made an appointment
with his primary care physician. The physician
initially prescribed antibiotics and later referred
him to an ear, nose, and throat specialist.
Several tests and a biopsy showed Lynch had
squamous cell carcinoma; however, because
of some unsettled feelings about how his case
was being handled, Lynch brought his slides to
the doctor who treated him for melanoma.
Lynch was told that it was cancer, but that
the tumor was a secondary malignancy, not
the primary source. Lynch was referred to the
head and neck cancer team at UChicago.
“I feel very privileged to have been treated by
Drs. Blair and Haraf, and the rest of the team,”
said Lynch. “They worked together and independently to find the primary source of the tumor,
and Dr. Blair operated on Christmas Eve 2008.”
The tumor had grown, so Dr. Blair also had to
remove some of his lymph nodes, tonsils, and some
of his inner cheek. Lynch went home on Christmas
day, returning 2 weeks later to see Dr. Haraf and
begin radiation therapy and chemotherapy.
Throughout the process, Lynch continued to
eat—milk shakes, mashed potatoes, and other
soft foods—which he said helped set the tone
for a good quality of life. “I have some minor
problems like dry mouth and salivary blockages,
but I feel great,” Lynch said. “I’m very active.”
Dr. Blair credits the overall care that UChicago
provides for the successful outcomes seen in
many head and neck cancer patients. “When we
talk about being a comprehensive cancer center,
it’s not enough to just perform chemotherapy
and radiation therapy,” explained Dr. Blair.
“The surgery and helping a patient manage
really important functions, like using their
voice and swallowing, is a big part of the
quality of care. We have learned that if we
are more aggressive with our therapy upfront,
there is a better outcome for our patients.”
She said regular communication among the
oncologists, radiation therapists, surgeons, and
speech and swallowing therapists is also important.
Elizabeth Blair, MD, and
patient John Lynch, JD, meet
every few months to review
his treatment progress.
They are pictured on the
Main Quadrangles of the
UChicago campus.
“We don’t hesitate to question or challenge or
critically review what we do and what our results
are,” she said. “It is a healthy, team environment that makes it better for our patients.”
From a patient perspective, both Williams
and Lynch said they feel lucky to have been
treated at UChicago. “I was never worried—
not for even a single day,” said Lynch.

Foundation Makes Significant
Contribution to Cancer Research
Generous Support Keeps UChicago ‘At the Forefront of Discovery ’
TM
We are extremely grateful to our boards for their diligence and dedication to supporting cancer research and advanced cancer care. We
would also like to thank the community groups and individual donors,
even some as young as 10 years old, whose contributions are helping
UChicago make enormous progress in the fight against cancer.
We are indebted to you for your generosity and for your understanding
that today’s research is tomorrow’s cure.
Ruth Ann Gillis McGuinnis
President
Cancer Research Foundation
Mary Ellen Connellan
Executive Director
For more than six decades, The University of
Chicago Cancer Research Foundation (UCCRF)
has played a vital role in advancing the research
that is making a significant, positive impact on the
lives of cancer patients. Thanks to dedicated staff,
very active volunteers, and generous donors, the
UCCRF raised nearly $2.5 million in fiscal year
2009-2010. This money was used to fund more than
30 major basic and clinical cancer research projects,
educational events, and prevention initiatives.
Among those receiving UCCRF grants are: Thomas
Gajewski, MD, PhD, professor of pathology and
medicine, who is developing immune-based therapies for cancer; Ernst Lengyel, MD, PhD, associate
professor of obstetrics and gynecology, who is creating
new tests and treatments for ovarian cancer; and
Justin Kline, MD, assistant professor of medicine,
who is pursuing a vaccine and cellular therapies
for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients.
The UCCRF comprises four boards—one governance board (Board of Trustees) and three fundraising boards (Women’s Board, Auxiliary Board,
Associates Board). The three fundraising boards
host a variety of activities throughout the year
from a spectacular Cancer Ball, to a disco chic
dance, to a Texas hold’em poker tournament.
In November 2009, CBS Evening News Anchor
Katie Couric was the guest of honor at the Women’s
Board Cancer Ball. She spoke about the importance
of cancer prevention through regular screenings,
such as colonoscopy. Her husband, Jay Monahan,
died from colon cancer in 1998. The UCCRF
presented Couric with its Partners in Discovery
award to honor her crusade for early detection and
24
cancer awareness. More than 500 people attended
the Cancer Ball at the Four Seasons Hotel Chicago.
Each spring, the UCCRF hosts an elegant recognition dinner in honor of a researcher who has made
important, long-term contributions to cancer research.
The UCCCC awarded its 2010 Simon M. Shubitz
Cancer Prize to pioneering stem cell researcher Irving
L. Weissman, MD, from Stanford University in
California. Earlier in the day, Dr. Weissman presented
the Shubitz Lecture, “Normal and Neoplastic
Stem Cells,” to UChicago faculty and students.
In spring 2011, the UCCCC will honor Charles
L. Sawyers, MD, from Memorial SloanKettering Cancer Center in New York, who
was instrumental in the development of two
drugs for leukemia and who is a leader in the
study of drug resistance in prostate cancer.
In addition to a corporate donation from Exelon,
which helps fund UCCCC community outreach
programs (See page 14), several community organizations themselves held fundraising events making
generous donations to the UCCRF. These events
included Riding for a Cure, Windy City Golf Classic,
and the Arlington Million Ladies Luncheon.
The UCCRF also launched a new way to raise
money for cancer research that does not involve
a direct monetary donation. The Foundation is
now collaborating with tix4cause.com, a website
that enables supporters to donate unused concert,
symphony, opera, or sporting event tickets with 100%
of the proceeds donated to the designated charity.
A second such option launched in late 2010 is the
Celebrated Chefs program through which designated
restaurants will donate 5% of the bill from diners
using a credit card registered with the program.

Riding For A Cure raised
$45,000 for cancer research
at the UCCCC. Event chair
Tracy Gilman is seated on her
mount with Christine Gabriel,
founder of the Riding For A

7 The Zaccone Family
Foundation has contributed
$100,000 to The University
of Chicago Cancer Research
Foundation. Suzanne Zaccone’s
battle with breast cancer was
documented in last year’s
annual report. (from left)

Our Role in Fighting Cancer
The University of Chicago Cancer Research Foundation (UCCRF)
is a not-for-profit organization founded by retail store entrepreneur
Maurice Goldblatt in 1946, following the death of his brother
and business partner, Nathan Goldblatt, from cancer.
The UCCRF raises money to support basic, clinical, translational, and population research
programs related to the causes, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer at the UCCCC.
Donations to the Foundation, both large and small:
• Support innovative
research that brings
us closer to making
cancer a manageable

Pursuing Groundbreaking
Research to Deliver
Customized Cancer Care
This report has described a year of steady
progress at the UCCCC—a year distinguished by groundbreaking research that
has fueled customized patient care.
We have long pursued an approach that
encompasses prevention, detection, treatment, community engagement, and survivorship. It is likely that solutions to cancer will
come from combinations of these elements.
Adding the word “comprehensive” to our
name confirms our continued commitment
to an all-inclusive strategy for cancer research
and cancer care. Our members are at the
forefront of a new era of personalized medicine. We look forward to the discoveries of
the new year and the promise of tomorrow.
