Meet Our Medical Director Dr. Paul Kent
Dr. Kent has and continues to be instrumental in providing hope and treatments to well over 100 fibrolamellar patients, including those in the collage to the left.
Since retiring from Rush, FibroFighters was extremely pleased when Paul accepted the position of Consulting Medical Director, bringing his years of experience, devotion, knowledge of FLC, compassion, and desire to collaborate with everyone in the Fibrolamellar universe. Paul is a fighter and not afraid to think out of the box when standing up and advocating for every Fibro patient and family who reaches out.
xCures
xCures and FibroFighters began to collaborate 18 months ago by enrolling FLC patients into their xINFORM platform.
Current patients can receive direct benefits while helping the community as a whole learn about current treatments. xCures allows patients to see their entire medical history in one place.

FibroFighters International Tumor Board
This unique collaboration is led by our Medical Director, Dr. Paul Kent.
Since launching August 2022, we have discussed dozens of FLC cases in detail among a group of FLC experts and have witnessed a tremendous positive impact on case management.
To our knowledge this is the only FLC-specific tumor board which invites experts and your medical team to review your case and come to a consensus about the direction of your treatment.
The Nagourney Cancer Institute
By using Dr. Nagourney’s 20-year-old proprietary functional tumor profiling, we may find key sensitives to your specific tumor using customized assays based on current papers and our combined knowledge.
Most importantly, since The Nagourney Cancer Institute is a CLIA-approved lab, our patients, their medical teams, and insurance companies can legally receive and act upon the results, unlike research centers.
Your Donation Can Make a Difference
Your support can make a difference in the lives of our Fibrolamellar patients and caregivers by supporting our patient directed initiatives.
We support translational projects, pilot research studies, an upcoming clinical trial, and more!
