A Better Way to Fund Cancer Research

September 10, 2008
After years of watching Congress and President Bush cut or level fund cancer research, the cancer community determined it was time for a new approach to funding the war on cancer. ACS CAN, in collaboration with the One Voice Against Cancer coalition, has worked with key Members of Congress to introduce a bill establishing a National Cancer Fund.

The National Cancer Fund would establish a stable source of funding to be used to support research to develop new and better early detection tools for the most deadly cancers, expand access to cancer screening for the uninsured and underinsured and support other important cancer programs.
