Sandler-Kenner Foundation

Our Mission

The Sandler-Kenner Foundation was created in the legacy of two men whose love of life was paralleled only by their love of others. As a cancer specialist, I have been frustrated by the current limitations in detecting and diagnosing pancreatic cancer at a treatable stage. This foundation was formed to provide support for research in early detection and to improve survivability.

Gregory Echt, M.D.
Chairman and Founder, Sandler-Kenner Foundation

The Sandler-Kenner Foundation is committed to supporting advances in early detection and diagnosis of pancreatic cancer through:

Raising awareness of adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine pancreatic cancer

Funding research to aid in the development of early identification tools that are highly sensitive, cost effective, and easily implemented by medical practitioners

The Sandler-Kenner Foundation was started by Gregory A. Echt, M.D. and his wife, Susan T. Echt, after they lost two of their dear friends, Michael and Peter, to premature deaths from pancreatic cancer.
