What You Need to Know About Cancer

Millions of Americans are living with a diagnosis of
cancer.* This National Cancer Institute (NCI)
booklet has information about this disease. You will

Researchers are learning more about what causes
cancer, and how it grows and progresses. And they are
looking for new and better ways to prevent, detect, and
treat it. Researchers also are looking for ways to
improve the quality of life for people with cancer
during and after their treatment.
