How We're Fostering Innovation
What does it take to outsmart cancer? Research. We've invested more than $4.6 billion in cancer research since 1946, all to find more – and better – treatments, uncover factors that may cause cancer, and improve cancer patients' quality of life. We’re investing in cancer research from every angle. Whether we're conducting research or funding it, our goal remains the same: to free the world from the pain and suffering from cancer.
Funding Groundbreaking Research
Our team of top researchers is investigating cancer from all angles. American Cancer Society researchers:
- Conduct large-scale nationwide cancer prevention studies
- Analyze the cancer landscape – and work to improve it
- Assess the impact of American Cancer Society programs
- Study the behavioral and psychosocial factors related to cancer
