New survey shows lack of understanding of Immuno-Oncology and underscores need for greater education on cancer research [Infographic]

(BPT) - A new survey shows that the overwhelming majority of Americans (85 percent) report cancer research is important to them; however, only 15 percent are knowledgeable about Immuno-Oncology – a rapidly evolving area of research that seeks to harness the body’s own immune system to help fight cancer. To raise awareness of this new area of science, two-time Emmy(R) award-winning actor Eric Stonestreet, of television’s hit comedy “Modern Family,” has teamed up with Bristol-Myers Squibb to launch Ready. Raise. Rise. – a national campaign that honors those affected by cancer and raises awareness of Immuno-Oncology research. Visit www.ReadyRaiseRise.com to raise your flag today.
