Increase Awareness
In our lifetime cancer will strike one of every two men and one of every three women in the United States.
Within the next decade, cancer is likely to replace heart disease as the leading cause of death in the U.S. It is already the biggest killer of those under the age of 85.
There are more than 12 million cancer survivors in the United States today -- alive thanks to cancer research and treatments to prolong lives and improve the quality of life for those living with cancer.
