In the modern world, cancer is no longer a death sentence. Up to 80% of patients can recover and lead healthy lives thanks to advanced medications and latest methods of testing and therapy. Yet in Russia and the former Soviet Union countries, many patients lack access to latest innovations, as they are not available, not covered by state-sponsored insurance or unaffordable.

Our Mission

Advita Fund USA was founded to help improve access to the most effective treatment to cancer patients. We want to make sure that our patients’ lives depend not on their income or birthplace, but on the progress of modern medicine.

Please join us at the 1st annual Art for Life cocktail party and silent art auction on September 25, 2010! You can follow it on Facebook too.

These are some of the patients who need immediate help:

Until she was 1, Miroslava Petrinina seemed to develop like other babies. Months were going by, but the girl never tried to get up and walk. Eventually, her pediatrician referred Miroslava for MRI scan - and results were shocking. The little girl had numerous brain lesions and hydrocephaly. Doctors viewed tumor as inoperable… Today, Miroslava is completing radiation therapy in German clinic and gradually improving. She still needs six more cycles of chemotherapy. Please help Miroslava complete her treatment >>

Sergei Didukh is 19 years old. In 2001, he received a terrifying diagnosis: Ewing’s sarcoma in his right thigh bone. Sergei underwent 15 surgeries and it seemed that disease had been forgotten. But bad fortune had a “gift” on Sergei’s 18th birthday: a metastasis in his left shoulder bone. All Sergei’s dreams collapsed. In May 2010, Sergei’s arm was amputated, and just one month later doctors had to amputate his leg… For now, Sergei needs two prosthetic limbs and a wheelchair to be able to move >>
