IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center

Fifty years ago, Lawrence Einhorn, MD, at Indiana University had an idea that would change the world. In 1974, he developed a breakthrough treatment for testicular cancer that has now saved more than 400,000 lives in the U.S. alone. Survival rates skyrocketed from 5% to more than 95%—a true testament to the power of research. Join us as we celebrate 50 years of this life-saving discovery and a lasting culture of groundbreaking research and care at the IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center.
