American Cancer Society

About Us

The American Cancer Society is the leading cancer-fighting organization with a vision to end cancer as we know it, for everyone. We are the only organization improving the lives of people with cancer and their families through advocacy, research, and patient support, to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.

As the only organization that supports people with cancer at every stage — from prevention to survivorship — we do everything we can to ensure people know they have a dedicated companion during a difficult time.

Donations to the American Cancer Society help us fund breakthrough research that saves lives, advocate for health equity and more affordable care at the government level, and provide essential day-to-day patient support.
