Focuses on Immunotherapy, a New and Promising Approach to Cancer Treatment
ANNAPOLIS, MD – Governor Larry Hogan today delivered remarks and helped to publicly introduce the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg/Kimmel Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy at Johns Hopkins medical campus in East Baltimore. He was joined by Vice President Joseph Biden, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Johns Hopkins University President Ronald Daniels, Johns Hopkins Medicine Dean and CEO Dr. Paul Rothman, and many other donors, staff, patients, and students.
"Over the course of my own cancer treatment, I met so many amazing fellow patients and families fighting tougher battles than my own," said Governor Hogan. "It's because of them that I will continue to stand with all those who are fighting this terrible disease - and that includes proudly supporting Johns Hopkins and the important, life saving work that will be done at the Bloomberg/Kimmel Institute."
The Bloomberg/Kimmel Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy will further strengthen Johns Hopkins’ program in cancer immunology, uniting more than 100 scientists and clinicians to study immunotherapy – a new approach to cancer treatment. Immunotherapy redirects each patients’ immune system to target and destroy cancer cells, and is one of the most rapidly advancing and promising methods of cancer research today.
In June, 2015, Governor Hogan was diagnosed with stage III non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Since then, he has participated in numerous cancer outreach events, including starting HoganStrong, to raise awareness and resources to help support all those who are fighting cancer. In November, 2015, the governor announced that he was 100% cancer-free and in remission.

Hell. There should be a cure for all cancers by now. Billions and Billions of tax paying research dollars have been spent for generations. The madness need to stop. Your spending poor folks money in cancer research so the millionaires and billionaires can live longer. Jimmy Carter is still living. We know you guys have a cure for cancer.
