Additional Info

Indiana University School of Medicine faculty and trainees are consistently addressing health challenges and making medical breakthroughs—including nationally recognized medical research in the Hematology/Oncology division.

Each year, about 8,000 men are diagnosed with testicular cancer. IU School of Medicine faculty physicians are on the frontlines, conducting nationally recognized medical research and providing exceptional education programs and care for these patients.

The chemotherapy regimen developed by IU Distinguished Professor Larry Einhorn, MD, has lifted the cure rate to almost 95 percent. Einhorn and his colleagues continue to operate a research program focused on early detection, resistant or recurrent disease, and lessening the long-term side effects of treatment.

Thank you for supporting this vital, life-saving work!
