Cancer Prevention and Treatment Fund

The Cancer Prevention and Treatment Fund helps children and adults reduce their risks of getting all types of cancer, and assists them in choosing the safest and most effective treatments. We carefully analyze research by scientists around the world, and draw conclusions about the best strategies for preventing and treating cancer. We help keep you healthy and help you get the best medical care by making information available to doctors, patients, family members, and the public. We don’t take money from companies that sell medical treatments, so the information we provide is always unbiased and based on the best evidence available. Unlike most cancer charities, the Cancer Prevention and Treatment Fund helps people lower their risks for all kinds of cancer — including new cancers and recurrence of cancers you’ve already been treated for. Whether we are getting dangerous chemicals out of the furniture, carpeting, or toys in your home, or helping you reduce the radiation from your cell phone, we are making sure you can cut through the hype on new medical treatments. We're saving lives every day through research, help, and hope. The Cancer Prevention and Treatment Fund is the major charitable program of the National Center for Health Research, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that uses research to improve the health of adults and children.
