We save lives.
We are the largest source of not-for-profit cancer research funds in the world, investing $130 million each year nationally in innovative research.
Since 1946, we have invested more than $3.1 billion in research.
Our researchers have helped increase the overall five-year survival rate from 25 percent in the 1940s to nearly 66 percent today.
Over the past 30 years, our researchers not only dramatically increased the cure rate for most childhood cancers to more than 80 percent, but established the link between cancer and smoking.
Forty-two American Cancer Society-funded researchers have gone on to win the Nobel Prize.
Cancer research, no matter where it is carried out, benefits us all, wherever we live.
We are powered by volunteers.
