DESCRIPTION:

National Cancer Control Month began as a joint congressional and presidential decree on March 28, 1938 (52 Stat. 148; 36 U.S.C. 103). It is renewed annually by the President.

Each year an estimated half million Americans will lose their lives to cancer, and three times that many will be diagnosed with this devastating illness.

Federally funded research has brought about landmark advances in cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment that promise real change for the millions of Americans facing this disease.

Sophisticated analysis continues to shed light on the molecular basis of cancer and unlock new therapies. Innovative studies pave the way for effective treatments for deadly cancers, including melanoma. And new research shows that screening procedures can reduce mortality from lung cancer, which could save lives among those at most significant risk.

National Cancer Control Month focuses on prevention and finding a cure. The official website is Cancer.gov.
