Cancer Research & Treatment
Cancer is now the number one killer of adults under age 85 in the United States; and when all cancers are averaged together, only 50 percent of Americans diagnosed with cancer survive.
Aaron Sachs is pleased to support cancer research and treatment. The impact of cancer has affected family members of Aaron Sachs & Associates, P.C.. In fact, Aaron’s mother died as a result of cancer when he was 15 years old. The following is a brief description of the charities the firm has supported in our fight against cancer.
