“At WVCI, we are able to offer patients access to experimental therapies. In many cases, this gives patients more options and allows us to further develop promising agents that are going to be far less toxic and more effective than what we consider the current standard of care. Fight Like a Duck is a great opportunity to acknowledge what our patients go through during their fight against cancer.  It’s one more way we can provide them with support and encouragement.”

— Dr. Christopher Yasenchak
