Abstract

Since its founding in 1913, the American Cancer Society (the Society) has played a prominent role in the fight against cancer. Through its presence in over 5,000 communities around the nation, the Society has explored and pursued innovative ideas, searched for breakthroughs, and pushed to have the nation understand the complexities of the disease. Ongoing assessment of the cancer problem, thoughtful strategic planning, and promotion of evidence-based cancer control programs are integral to the Society's mission. This paper provides a summary of these efforts.
