Our Mission
Esophageal cancer is one of the fastest growing and deadliest cancers in the United States, United Kingdom and other western countries.
The Salgi Esophageal Cancer Research Foundation just opened our grant program and is working to fund research in 2025. In 2023, we awarded THREE grants for esophageal cancer research.We awarded two additional research grants, the first in 2015 and the second in 2018. The research awarded in 2018, a breath test for esophageal cancer, is currently underway.
All grants are awarded in honor of everyone affected by esophageal cancer.
While these are tremendous accomplishments, esophageal cancer research is critically underfunded and medical researchers continuously inquire about funding. We are working to fund MORE worthy esophageal cancer research!
In addition, due to lack of awareness and no routine or standard screenings, many individuals typically face advanced prognosis with limited treatment options.
Now more than ever, your support is critically needed to enable this charity to fulfill our mission.
When you make a donation to our charity you are directly supporting esophageal cancer awareness, early detection and research. All donations can be made one-time or recurring, are tax-deductible and go to our mission!
