HUMAN IMPACT
American Cancer Society’s research fills me with the most hope. Without it, the drugs that I’m currently taking wouldn’t be available. When or if my protocol stops working I want there to be another one in place just as good or better.
AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY RESEARCH
Research Lifecycle
Research takes decades to come to life. Today’s cancer breakthrough began perhaps 10 to 20 years ago with a novel idea from a single investigator.
- The American Cancer Society conducts research and provides funding to brilliant and innovative researchers.
- Research is conducted over years or decades, moved along with important incremental discoveries.
- Breakthroughs occur only after years of foundational work.
- Support given today will save lives in the decades to come.
Invest in Researchers
- Launching the careers of talented cancer researchers at the beginning of their profession remains our top priority.
- A robust and diverse community of cancer scientists is critical to continued progress in the fight against cancer.
- Right now, a lack of available funding for cancer research could divert early-stage investigators and underrepresented groups from continuing in the field.

A VISION FOR THE FUTURE
We are fighting for a future where:
Cancer is preventable and treatable
Cancer diagnoses decrease, and life expectancies increase
Affordable, high-quality treatments move from lab to bedside quickly
Everyone has a fair and just opportunity to survive cancer
