DE PERE, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – A new exhibit at the Mulva Cultural Center, in De Pere, is focused on cancer.
It’s called The Journey to End Cancer: From Cause to Cure.
“It was created by University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. That’s all they do is cancer, is treat cancer. And they’re looking for the solutions to cure cancer,” said Marv Wall, executive director of the Mulva.
As researchers continue to work to cure cancer, the exhibit takes people along for the journey.
Educational and entertaining, it’s an interactive look at prevention and detection. It also examines how cancer has been and is being treated now.
Wall said, “My favorite part is kind of the there’s like a candy land game up in there where you do different activities or make certain decisions that will help you live a longer life. So it shows things in your teens, your 20s and 30s. And as you age, things that you can do to help you live a long life and hopefully be cancer free.”
‘Favorite part’ and ‘cancer’ aren’t necessarily words you’d expect to hear in the same sentence, but that’s exactly the point of the exhibit.
It works to take the fear of cancer away by opening the door to the progress being made.
“We’ve learned a lot through clinical research over the past 10, 20, 30 years and cancer isn’t the death sentence that it used to be. Treatment is helping people live longer,” said Megan Bies with HSHS St. Vincent Hospital Cancer Centers.
While the exhibit is focused on the work being done at MD Anderson, it opens the door to explore what options are available locally.
Bies said, “In general, Green Bay has a really good array of options for healthcare.” She added, “Not only expert providers, people who’ve been in the community for decades. We also have access to clinical trials, so you don’t have to go to Milwaukee or Madison. We have hundreds of clinical trials here.”
Options people can learn to explore by simply being educated on the current state of cancer prevention, detection, and treatment.
The exhibit runs through January 3, 2027.
