"Cancer affects everyone. As the world's premier cancer center, we have a solemn responsibility to quickly share our knowledge to address this global program," said DePinho. "As we celebrate the outstanding work of our colleagues over the past 75 years, we also look to the future with enthusiasm during this golden era of cancer research. Now, more than ever, we have the opportunity to confine cancer to history for the generations to come."
To commemorate its diamond jubilee, the institution plans an array of festivities to recognize patients and survivors, donors, volunteers, employees and faculty members. The schedule of activities includes an employee recognition event, a cancer survivorship conference, the Boot Walk to End Cancer™, commemorated by a 75th anniversary boot ornament designed by MD Anderson's Children's Art Project, a faculty convocation, an employee service awards banquet and a gala dinner underwritten by Cooper University Health Care.
