Canary Approach
The Canary Approach is strategic and tactical, focusing on three key areas to maximize results:
Early Detection:
Canary Foundation is the world’s first non-profit organization dedicated solely to the funding, discovery and development of tests for early cancer detection. Identifying early stage cancers will save lives; while less than 15% of research funding goes to early detection, early intervention is far more effective than late stage treatment. The greatest advances in cancer research can be obtained — and more lives saved — by reorienting research toward earlier detection and prevention.

Collaboration:
Canary Foundation takes a collaborative approach, with the foremost objective of translating cancer early detection research into clinical applications as quickly as possible. Each cancer program has a team of outstanding cancer researchers and clinicians from across disciplines and institutions, leveraging complimentary strengths to achieve maximum results.

Innovation:
Canary Foundation is leading cutting edge research, spurring the development of integrated blood and imaging-based diagnostic research. Canary has created a unique research center, the first of its kind, focused on blood and imaging-based diagnostics for early cancer detection. The Canary Center at Stanford for Cancer Early Detection brings research from these two areas together under one roof, toward the goal of detecting cancer at its earliest stages through a combination of blood and molecular imaging tests.
