After compiling a list of spectacular downfalls, MSNBC has published a list of ‘risers’ and among the names listed is Jon Huntsman of Huntsman Cancer Institute. Jon Hunstman’s father founded the Huntsman Cancer Foundation to research and find the cure of the disease. Today Huntsman Cancer Institute is nation’s foremost hospital researching the disease at very basic level. As recently as on 14 the December the Huntsman Cancer Institute equipped itself with cutting edge IMRISneuro scanner. The scanner would add to the capabilities of the doctors treating the cancers that have spread to the brain tissue. Huntsman Cancer Institute has also launched an ambitious program to collect blood, tumor and other tissue samples, partly to find cure of the diseases at genetic level. The idea is ranked at the 8th number at the compilation of revolutionary ideas by Time magazine.

Huntsman Cancer Institute’s approach towards finding a cure of the disease is to consider cancer as a disease that affects each patient differently. Each and every human is unique at genetic level and that makes it necessary to devise individualistic therapies. The institute considers the patients as not a statistic only. The institute has published an online guide for the cancer patients called HOPE. The guide provides the patients with the information on therapies and the research going on into the different types of cancer. Institute also provides extensive information on the clinical trials going on.

Mr. Jon Huntsman is presently serving as the Ambassador of U.S.A to China and speaks Chinese language fluently.
