Be-Cause

WHY?

The purpose of our foundation is to raise awareness, share the importance of a healthy diet and lifestyle, and raise money for Bladder Cancer research.

The Howard J. Cohen Bladder Cancer Foundation was founded in September of 2014 by Howard J. Cohen, just one year after he was diagnosed with the disease.

For Howard it was a winning fight, but through the experience he witnessed firsthand the lack of global awareness there has been for bladder cancer, the undervaluing of a healthy lifestyle and

plant-based diet in combating the disease, and lastly the dire lack of funding there has been towards the advancement of bladder cancer treatments.

Without research there have been no new advancements in the treatment of bladder cancer in the last 20 years, and the current treatment is as invasive as it is outdated.

Get Involved!

It’s not about how much you give, it’s that you give.

There are literally hundreds of ways to support our cause, more than we’ve even dreamed up yet, but nothing is more powerful in raising awareness than your participation.

When people gather around a cause there is an indefinable synergy that catalyzes change as people connect, network, and show their support for families, survivors, and fighters.

Additionally- the icing on the cake- these events help us to raise the money needed for the advancement of bladdder cancer treatements through cutting edge research.

Don’t underestiimate the power of just showing up. No offering or involvement is to little. Every tiny choice we make echoes around the world. Make some noise for bladder cancer awareness and research at our next event!

Jonathan L. Wright, MD

Jonathan and Howard came together when Howard was first diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2013. Howard went to him for consultation and Jonathan has been his physician ever since, walking with him on his journey as a cancer survivor, and partnering with him in his work to change the game in bladder cancer research and awareness.

“I’m humbled to be part of the HJCBC Foundation, to see how one man can turn an event in his life into a passion for the future. It’s incredible and I’m honored to be a part of it.”

Predicting Treatment Response To Chemotherapy.

June 9, 2017

Half of patients receiving chemotherapy for bladder cancer will fail to respond.  Predicting those most likely to respond can better direct patients to surgery or clinical trials. Using bladder tumor specimens from those undergoing either surgery or autopsy, molecular signatures will be defined and tested to predict response to standard chemotherapy.  Theses tissue samples were collected as a result of the HJC Bladder Cancer Foundation Funding
