staying at a healthy weight.
STAY AWAY FROM TOBACCO
Let the Great American Smokeout event be your day to start your journey toward a
smoke-free life.

get on a screening schedule that's right for you.

RESEARCH THAT SAVES LIVES
What does it take to outsmart cancer? Research. We’ve invested more than $5
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.
SURVEILLANCE & HEALTH EQUITY SCIENCE
We CONDUCT and publish research on cancer prevention, surveillance, health
services, and disparities. Publications include Cancer Facts & Figure reports.
POPULATION SCIENCE
We CONDUCT and publish research about cancer risk factors, the quality of life,
and cancer survivors through Cancer Prevention Studies (CPS), including CPS-II
and CPS-3.
EXTRAMURAL DISCOVERY SCIENCE
We FUND high impact and innovative research for any type of cancer and from
bench to bedside by supporting scientists across the United States with research
grants.
