The American Cancer Society is committed to improving the lives of people with cancer and their families and moving us closer to a world without cancer. We fund innovative, high-impact research to find more – and better – treatments, uncover factors that may cause cancer, and improve the quality of life for people facing cancer. We are committed to reducing health disparities by conducting internal research and funding grants aimed at fostering a more diverse cancer care and research workforce, as well as addressing inequities that exist in cancer prevention, treatment, and care.

Every cancer. Every life.

Whether we're working in a community near you or one halfway around the world, our mission remains the same: to improve the lives of people with cancer and their families through advocacy, research, and patient support, to ensure everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.
