The Sandler-Kenner Foundation – a Non-profit organization, established in 2007 as the Las Colinas Pancreatic Cancer Center Foundation, was renamed in early 2011 in the memory of Michael Sandler and Peter Kenner, both of whom passed away from pancreatic cancer, a lethal disease that is difficult to diagnose until it has reached an advanced stage.
 
The Sandler-Kenner Foundation’s primary focus is to improve survivability of pancreatic cancer patients by developing early identification tools that are highly sensitive, cost effective and easily implemented by medical practitioners.

Additional Information

Pancreatic cancer occurs when cells in the pancreas start to mutate. These mutations cause the cells to grow uncontrollably. They accumulate to form a tumor, frequently malignant, eventually leading to metastases and ultimately death.Located behind the stomach, the pancreas is responsible for secreting digestive enzymes that help with digestion. It is also responsible for secreting insulin and glucagon into the bloodstream.

When pancreatic cells experience damage to their DNA, the abnormality causes the cells to grow and divide at a rapid rate. This results in a malignancy. Eventually, cancer cells from the pancreas travel to other parts of the body. Pancreatic cancer is highly aggressive and can be catastrophic if not caught at its earliest stages.
