PLAINSBORO, N.J. (March 10, 2015) — OncLive^® today joins with The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in a partnership to increase awareness of the latest advances in cancer research, treatment and care through OncLive’s Strategic Alliance Partnership program.

In the new partnership, OncLive’s editorial and marketing teams will publicize new developments from MD Anderson, home to the largest cancer clinical trials program in the nation.

Mike J. Hennessy Jr., senior vice president of the Oncology Specialty Group, which includes OncLive, and Specialty Pharmacy at Michael J. Hennessy Associates, Inc., said, “We are honored to partner with MD Anderson Cancer Center to bring important cancer news to everyone committed to fighting the disease. MD Anderson’s research program is considered one of the most productive in the world for cancer, which means they are translating a lot of knowledge from the laboratory into clinical practice — knowledge that could greatly benefit the cancer community.”

Ronald DePinho, M.D., MD Anderson president, said, “Everything we do is about our patients, making sure they have superior care and access to the latest in cancer therapies. The partnership with OncLive will give us another opportunity to connect with even more people who are as passionate as we are about putting an end to cancer.”
