AACR Cancer Progress Report
The AACR Cancer Progress Report highlights how federally funded research is spurring improvements in public health and driving innovative breakthroughs across the spectrum of cancer care.
May is National Cancer Research Month
The American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) initiated and supports National Cancer Research Month to highlight the importance of lifesaving research to the millions of people around the world affected by the collection of devastating diseases we call cancer.
Thanks to spectacular advances made by cancer research, more than 18 million people in the United States and millions more worldwide are living with, through, and beyond their disease.
Now more than ever, we must remember that cancer affects everyone. It knows no party lines, and neither should the progress we make against it. We invite you to partner with our organization and cancer centers, institutions, researchers, physicians, patients, survivors, and advocates to bring awareness and highlight the importance and impact of cancer research. This year’s theme is United by Cancer Research: One Mission. One Voice.
Sustained federal funding is crucial for researchers to plan and continue cutting-edge projects that will lead to new, better treatments and cures for various diseases, including cancer. This National Cancer Research Month, join us in calling on Congress to make cancer research a national priority.
