Early Diagnosis and Treatment Research Foundation

The Early Diagnosis and Treatment Research Foundation furthers and supports research in the field of early diagnosis and treatment of disease. It primarily engages in continuous, active conduct of research to develop the knowledge base for the practice of screening for early diseases such as lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and heart disease. This is facilitated by providing grants to other institutions, conducting studies and reporting on results, and holding conferences to make results available while fostering collaborative efforts.
