American Cancer Society

The American Cancer Society is a nationwide, community-based voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem. For more than 100 years, we have helped lead an evolution in the way the world prevents, detects, treats, and thinks about cancer. We fund and conduct research, share expert information, support people with cancer, spread the word about prevention, and through our advocacy affiliate, ACS CAN, advocate for public policy change.

The American Cancer Society’s mission is to save lives, celebrate lives, and lead the fight for a world without cancer.
