In 3 years, nearly 115 euros have been donated to the Gustave Roussy Foundation thanks to the Open Cancer Revolution. This large sum makes it possible to finance part of the major research programs on personalized medicine and immunotherapy carried out by the medical researchers of Gustave Roussy.

“By supporting the Foundation for 3 years, the Open Revolution Cancer allows Gustave Roussy to remain a leader in two major revolutions in cancerology, namely immunotherapy and personalized medicine. I thank all the participants and partners for their mobilization and their commitment with us. " Alexander Eggermont, Managing Director of Gustave Roussy.
