"What's so important in pancreatic cancer is that we fund research. And the Lustgarten Foundation contributes 100% of all of the funds that we raise directly to research. Since we were founded we have invested $250 million in pancreatic cancer research. We know that research is the only way that we will find the cures," said Tantawi.
