Dear Supporter,

We are pleased to announce that a very generous donation from The Joseph and Mildred Sonshine Family has enabled the creation of a Centre for Head& Neck Diseases at Mount Sinai Hospital. The Centre is a state-of-the-art facility for the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid cancer under the direct supervision of Drs. Paul Walfish and Jeremy Freeman.
 

Three times more frequent in females, thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine gland malignancy and over the last two decades its prevalence has been increasing more rapidly than any other malignancy. When modern detection techniques and treatment methods are applied, this cancer can be cured in more than 85% of affected patients. Mount Sinai Hospital has been an acknowledged pioneer in applying thyroid ultrasound and fine needle aspiration biopsy to achieve its earliest detection. The establishment of a Centre for Head and Neck Diseases will maintain Mount Sinai Hospital’s ongoing leadership in the medical and surgical treatment of thyroid cancer both in our community and worldwide.

In order to defray some of the operational costs of patient care and research associated with this center, the fifth annual gala will take place on April 28th, 2010 at La Primavera Hospitality and Convention Centre. The Honourees for this fifth annual event will be Julian and Liviana Fantino. Your participation in this event will help ensure that this centre of excellence will remain at the frontier of knowledge and apply the latest advances in the diagnosis and treatment for patients with thyroid cancer.
