"Survivor Partners with Father to Advance Liver Cancer Research"
Elana Simon, who survived a rare form of liver cancer called fibrolamellar carcinoma (FLC), now works with her father, Prof Sanford Simon, to research and develop treatments for FLC. Their laboratory at New York’s Rockefeller University has made significant breakthroughs in understanding the cause and behavior of FLC, and recently received a £20m grant from Cancer Research UK to further their work. Their goal is to develop new, easily accessible treatments for FLC and gain insights that could benefit research into other cancers.
