The strength of giving Meet Our Founders

The John Fetting Fund for Breast Cancer Prevention was established with a lead gift from breast cancer survivor Leslie Ries and her husband Tom. The Fund is named in honor of John Fetting, a Kimmel Cancer Center breast cancer expert who has treated patients for more than 40 years. Dr. Fetting called for a greater investment in the science of breast cancer prevention to address worldwide increasing incidence of breast cancer and to limit the trauma caused by the invasive treatments and risk of recurrence. The Fetting Fund supports prevention research conducted by faculty researchers of The Breast & Gynecologic Malignancies Program.
