Changes on the Horizon 2012 ANNUAL REPORT A National Cancer Institute Designated Cancer Center Introducing... Mission T he mission of the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center is to facilitate the application of new knowledge about the etiology, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cancer to improve health and quality of life. 1 DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE: Q & A ON THE NEW FRED & PAMELA BUFFETT CANCER CENTER Talk about the new name; Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center. The Eppley Cancer Center is now known as the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center. The naming recognizes a gift from Pamela Buffett and her late husband, Fred, to the University of Nebraska Foundation. He died in 1997 of kidney cancer. Fred Buffett was a first cousin to investor and businessman Warren Buffett of Omaha. Where will the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center be located? What will the facility include? The Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center, formerly the Eppley Cancer Center, will be built on the west side of the UNMC campus and will consist of a research tower with 98 laboratories, a multidisciplinary outpatient clinic and a 108-bed hospital dedicated to oncology. The new facility will be almost 700,000 square feet. How much will it cost and from where will funding come? The project is estimated to cost $323 million, with funding coming from public and private donations. The University of Nebraska Medical Center will receive $50 million in state funds, $35 million over 10 years from the City of Omaha and $5 million over the next 10 years from Douglas County. Private support totaling $90 million has also been pledged, and The Nebraska Medical Center has generously pledged $120 million. How will the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center impact cancer research and treatment at UNMC, and why is collaboration important? When physicians and scientists share information and ideas, patients benefit. Physicians give scientists valuable insights on the problems that patients experience. Scientists studying the mechanisms that cause cancer work with clinicians to translate these discoveries into new technologies for the early detection of cancer and create specific, more effective therapies to fight cancer. What kind of impact will the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center have on Nebraska’s economy? The Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center’s impact on the economies of Omaha and the state of Nebraska will be significant, with an estimated 1,200 new jobs created by 2020. programs at the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center by bringing scientists and clinicians together in the same building to share and exchange ideas. Who would you like to thank for their involvement in the project? There are many individuals to thank without whom this project would not be possible. First, UNMC Chancellor Dr. Harold M. Maurer, for his leadership for the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center that truly will cement UNMC’s place among the best academic health centers in the nation. University of Nebraska President J.B. Milliken for making the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center a high priority in the University of Nebraska capital campaign. Omaha philanthropists Mike and Gail Yanney championed the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center, seeing that it was good for the citizens of Nebraska and the state’s economy. Will the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center have an effect on achieving Comprehensive Cancer Center designation? Achieving Comprehensive Cancer Center designation from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) will place the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center among only 41 cancer centers nationwide with this prestigious designation. Cancer centers must demonstrate expertise in laboratory, clinical and population-based research. The Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center will enhance the already excellent research The support for the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center from state, city and county officials has been overwhelming. In early 2012, Gov. Dave Heineman approved the state budget that included $50 million in funding for the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center. Nebraska State Senator John Nelson, District 6, was instrumental in sponsoring the bill in the Nebraska Legislature. The Douglas County Board of Commissioners voted 6-1 in October 2012 to provide $5 million over the next 10 years to the project. The Omaha City Council passed two ordinances in October 2012 that will provide $35 million to help with construction of the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center. “We are grateful that the city of Omaha, the state of Nebraska and Douglas County are interested in supporting the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center, which will cement Omaha’s reputation as a leader in cancer care, save lives and provide state-of-the-art treatment and research,” Dr. Cowan said. “It also will create thousands of jobs in the metro area and infuse millions into state and local economies.” Eppley Professor of Oncology Director, Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center Director, Eppley Institute for Research in Cancer LEADERSHIP DIRECTOR Contents Kenneth H.

The fund was started by the Karnes family in memory of their wife and mother, the late Dr. Liz Karnes, who died in 2003 after a battle with ovarian cancer. More than $230,000 was raised for local cancer research efforts at Creighton University’s Hereditary Cancer Center and the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center. The 2013 event, held on April 19-20, raised more than $310,000, bringing the eight-year total raised to more than $1.4 million. The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust awarded a $3.5 million grant to the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center to fund the Northern Great Plains Personalized Breast Cancer Program. High school and collegiate soccer teams played exhibition soccer games at Creighton University’s Morrison Stadium. Other activities included a dinner, silent auction and check presentation, a soccer skills clinic for underprivileged youth and an autograph session with players. Funds raised through sponsorships, donations and the sale of game and dinner tickets benefit the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center and the Creighton University Hereditary Cancer Center. LONESTAR PERFORMS AT THE CATTLEMEN’S BALL. A $5.9 million project, this program will be a collaborative effort between the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center, Avera Cancer Institute and rural health care centers across the Northern Great Plains. This program will utilize the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center’s state-wide affiliate cancer center network in Nebraska and Avera’s network of more than 300 health care locations in five states to provide breast cancer patients with state-of-theart cancer genomic analysis and personalized cancer treatment options. Access to the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center’s Breast Cancer Collaborative Registry will also be available. Breast biopsies from 1,000 breast cancer patients in Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota and Wyoming will undergo DNA sequence analysis to identify the entire spectrum of each genetic mutation in breast cancer over the next three years. Furthermore, these patients will be enrolled in the Breast Cancer Collaborative Registry (BCCR), which collects information from breast cancer patients on demographics, medical and family history, exposure history, diet, exercise, quality of life and course of treatment. Biospecimens will be collected for research on biomarkers to assess the risk of developing breast cancer, as well as markers of prognosis. The total genomic information will also be used to help oncologists identify personalized cancer care for each patient. “The Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center is very fortunate to be partnering with Avera Health/Avera Cancer Institute and The Helmsley Charitable Trust on this endeavor that will provide access to personalized care to so many breast cancer patients in the rural Midwest,” said Kenneth H. Cowan, M.D., Ph.D., director of the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center. “To effectively reduce disparities in health care, particularly in rural areas, a collaborative effort is essential to reach as many patients as possible.” The five states involved in the project are the most sparsely populated states in the U.S. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2010 Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana and Wyoming ranked 45, 48, 49, 50 and 51 in population density (includes District of Columbia and Puerto Rico). In addition to being uninsured or underinsured, many patients in rural areas face significant barriers to health care. These include a shortage of health care providers due to recruitment and retention issues in rural areas and lack of public transportation. This project will give patients in rural areas access to cutting-edge cancer research and patient care in local communities, with physicians making treatment decisions based on the genetic makeup of an individual patient’s tumor.

BUFFETT FOUNDATION RAISED $285,000 ON THE SATURDAY EVENING LIVE AUCTION. 5 UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA FOUNDATION GIFTS Recognizing a Few of Our Partners CHARITABLE GIFTS OF ALL AMOUNTS ARE CRITICAL TO ADVANCING CUTTING-EDGE RESEARCH. OFTEN THEY ARE THE ONLY MEANS OF ADVANCING NOVEL IDEAS IN CANCER RESEARCH. HERE ARE A FEW EXAMPLES OF GENEROSITY THAT REFLECT AN INVESTMENT AND PARTNERSHIP IN THE LIFE-SAVING ENDEAVORS AT THE FRED & PAMELA BUFFETT CANCER CENTER. Mryna & Bob Krohn Bob and Mryna Krohn’s gift to the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center combines two of the couple’s philanthropic interests: education and medicine. Given during the 50-year celebration of the Eppley Institute, their $1 million gift established the Robert F. & Myrna L. Krohn Chair in Cancer Research, the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center’s most prestigious award recognizing excellence in cancer research and institutional leadership. “I am deeply grateful for Bob and Myrna’s generous gift,” said the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center Director Kenneth Cowan, M.D., Ph.D., who currently holds the chair. “It helps support the infrastructure of the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center and makes funds available for cancer research and other programmatic activities. The Krohns have been long-time supporters of our work, so it is fitting that their names will always be associated with the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center and the director.” Lin & Mike Simmonds Omahans Mike and Lin Simmonds are passionate about giving back to the community and to helping advance cancer research. Their $1 million gift establishes a research fund that supports cancer research initiatives in radiation oncology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. The first project explores a novel discovery by UNMC scientists that could lead to new diagnostic capabilities and therapy options for patients with hormone refractory or newly diagnosed advanced prostate cancer. The Simmonds’ gift also supports creation of the Midwest Radiation Oncology Coalition, which offers cutting-edge clinical trials to patients across Nebraska. In addition, it gathers research data throughout a network of affiliated oncology clinics in Nebraska, South Dakota and Iowa. “The Simmonds’ generous support has provided the catalyst necessary to develop translational research projects that could result in a clinical paradigm shift in the diagnosis and treatment of advanced prostate cancer,” said Charles Enke, M.D., chairman and professor, UNMC Department of Radiation Oncology. 6 FredandPamelaBuffettCancerCenter.com Janice & Larry Stoney “We’ll beat this.” Those were the first words Larry Stoney said to his wife, Janice, when she told him she had breast cancer. That was over 30 years ago and Larry’s words still hold true. Today the two live in Phoenix, and Janice is the picture of health. To show their appreciation of the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center, they made an irrevocable bequest with a gift of a life insurance policy to support cancer research at UNMC. “The people there, the services, the professionalism, the progress that’s been made — it’s indescribable,” Janice said. “We want to see Dr. Kenneth Cowan and the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center researchers be able to continue their progress in this fight.” Inez Mortensen From the estate of Inez Mortensen, a gift of $50,000 has been provided to support cancer research at the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center. The gift was directed to the Hope Fund for Cancer Research at the University of Nebraska Foundation. Before her death on March 17, 2012, Mortensen chose to support cancer research in memory of her brothers, Christian and Richard, and sister, Marian, who all died from cancer. “By giving, you help your fellow man have a better life physically, spiritually and you have a good feeling that you have helped,” Mortensen said. “To achieve my charitable goal in curing diseases, I support an organization where my gift will be used 100 percent for research to educate, relieve suffering and find a cure.” An Omaha native, Mortensen was a longtime supporter of the University of Nebraska. She consistently contributed to the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center during the last 10 years of her life. Those gifts were modest compared to the $50,000 gift provided through her estate. “Like many whose lives have been touched by cancer, Mortensen was so passionate about putting an end to the effects of this disease,” said Tom Thompson, senior director of development, University of Nebraska Foundation. “Her gift is not only a wonderful tribute to her siblings but also a generous investment in the advancements being made at the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center.” Janet Voelker, executor of Mortensen’s estate and a longtime friend, said Mortensen never married, so her siblings, Marian, Richard and Christian, meant the world to her. “She would want me to mention them by name because they were so precious to her, and she would want them also to be named part of this legacy she has left UNMC,” Voelker said. “As for me, her friend, I was one among many, and we all enjoyed and treasured our relationship with her. Her heart was a giving one and upon her death, her many, many charitable gifts bear witness to this caring, loving woman of faith.” FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT SUPPORTING THE FRED & PAMELA BUFFETT CANCER CENTER, CONTACT TOM THOMPSON AT 402.502.4116 OR TTHOMPSON@NUFOUNDATION.ORG. 7 On May 7, 2013, a groundbreaking was held that symbolized the beginning of construction of the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center. FRED AND PAMELA BUFFETT The Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center includes three areas dedicated to cancer: a 98-laboratory research tower, a hospital with up to 108 beds and a multidisciplinary outpatient center. In all, the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center’s construction will cost $323 million, the largest project ever at the University of Nebraska. The Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center is named for Fred and Pamela Buffett in recognition of a gift from Pamela Buffett through her foundation, the Rebecca Susan Buffett Foundation, to the University of Nebraska Foundation. Pamela’s husband, Fred “Fritz” Buffett, died in 1997 after fighting kidney cancer. 8 A large group of UNMC dignitaries, Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center donors and guests gathered under a tent in front of the Durham Research Center II to thank donors and supporters, as well as to reveal the names of: THE C.L. WERNER CANCER HOSPITAL THE SUZANNE AND WALTER SCOTT CANCER RESEARCH TOWER Omaha philanthropist Susie Buffett, cousin of Fred Buffett, called the new center “an international beacon of light.” Buffett added, “Fritz (Fred) fought a courageous cancer battle until the very end. It is truly exceptional for Pamela to make this gift in his honor, for the benefit of potentially thousands upon thousands of cancer patients worldwide. These patients will benefit from the research advances that will be developed here, as well as the outstanding patient care that will be delivered.” Public support totaling $90 million has already been pledged toward the project by the state of Nebraska, the city of Omaha and Douglas County. Private donors also have shown great support for the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center FredandPamelaBuffettCancerCenter.com C.L. WERNER CANCER HOSPITAL C.L. Werner, honorary chairman of the C.L. Werner Foundation Board, said he is honored to support the project, saying it would be “a leading cancer center in the world.” “I am proud the Cancer Hospital is in Omaha and hope everyone shares my excitement about this state-of-the-art initiative,” he said. Werner serves as chairman emeritus of Werner Enterprises, Inc., one of the largest truckload motor carriers in the nation. L-R: C.L. AND RACHEL WERNER WITH UNMC CHANCELLOR DR. HAROLD M.

GROUP WITH SHOVELS AT THE FRED & PAMELA BUFFETT CANCER CENTER GROUNDBREAKING ON MAY 7. project, said Mike Yanney, chairman of the UNMC committee of the University of Nebraska Foundation’s comprehensive fundraising campaign, Campaign for Nebraska: Unlimited Possibilities. “The Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center will allow the brightest minds in cancer research and care to collaborate on finding tomorrow’s cures, specifying those treatments to each patient based on their unique condition,” Kenneth Cowan, M.D., Ph.D., said. “In this facility, medical scientists will discover the next generation of cancer therapies targeted toward molecular changes in tumors, resulting in a treatment regimen individualized for each patient.” The Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center is the largest facility for a project that also includes plans for updated ambulatory (outpatient) services at UNMC. The project will provide 4,657 new jobs to the metro area, infusing $537 million annually into the economy. The Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center’s floors and spaces will match up with space in adjacent buildings, including the Durham Outpatient Center and Durham Research Towers. The facility will be constructed at Dewey Avenue and Durham Research Plaza (45th Street) where Swanson Hall was located. Demolition of Swanson Hall began in spring 2013, with construction of the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center beginning in the fall.

LURIE COMPREHENSIVE CANCER CENTER) PENN STATE UNIVERSITY (PENN STATE HERSHEY CANCER INSTITUTE) In athletics, the Big Ten universities compete against each other but now many will join together against a common foe — cancer. Leaders from the universities’ cancer centers kicked off the Big Ten Cancer Research Consortium recently in Chicago. They united to transform cancer research through collaborative oncology trials that leverage the scientific and clinical expertise of the Big Ten universities. The consortium will benefit patients because researchers will work together to turn ideas into potential new treatments. The clinical trials they develop will be linked to molecular diagnostics, enabling researchers to understand what drives the cancers to grow and what might be done to stop them from growing. Also, the consortium forms a powerful collaboration because of the impact each university already has made 10 in cancer research. A solid research infrastructure is already in place at each university. The consortium also leverages geographical locations and existing relationships among the cancer centers. The Big Ten Cancer Research Consortium creates a unique teamresearch culture in which cancer leaders will collaborate with and mentor the research leaders of tomorrow with the goal of improving the lives of all cancer patients. The consortium will provide junior faculty and fellows the opportunity to write, conduct and complete trials, which would not normally be done at a single institution or on a national level for young investigators.
