ABOUT US + OUR PARTNERS
ABOUT THE MULTIPLE MYELOMA RESEARCH FOUNDATIONMultiple myeloma is, at this time, an incurable blood cancer. Although much progress has been made in treating multiple myeloma, the five-year relative survival rate remains one of the lowest of all cancers. The Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) is a world-recognized leader in cancer research. The mission of the MMRF is to relentlessly pursue innovative means that accelerate the development of next-generation multiple myeloma treatments to extend the lives of patients and find a cure. Together with its partners, the MMRF created the only end-to-end solution in precision medicine, generated the single largest genomic data set in all cancers and continues to disrupt, pioneer and lead new research efforts that are having an impact across all cancers. The MMRF has raised over $330 million since its inception in 1998 and directs nearly 90% of the total funds raised to research and related programs.
