From the Bench...
	Overcoming Drug Resistance to Targeted Cancer Therapies A concerted effort is under way at the Mass General Cancer Center to understand why and how cancer cells become resistant to targeted therapies.
To the Bedside...
	New Hope for Cancer Patients For a number of years the Mass General Cancer Center has been at the forefront of the promising field of targeted therapy, in which treatment is tailored to attack specific genetic mutations responsible for an individual patient’s tumor. A major gift of $10 million from Henri and Belinda Termeer, announced Sept. 13, will enable the Cancer Center to expand its efforts in this area through the creation of the Henri and Belinda Termeer Center for Targeted Therapies.
To the Community
	Communities Rally Support for Cancer Care and Research The Mass General Cancer Center is grateful to its many friends who organize fundraising events in their communities to raise support for advancing cancer care and research. The following events were held this summer and exemplify exceptional commitment, creativity and passion.
