Groups involving hundreds of researchers are working to discover and put to use new knowledge to benefit the cancer patients of today and tomorrow. Such studies have led to increased survival for childhood cancers, Hodgkin's disease, breast, uterine, testicular and bladder cancers, as well as others. These studies continue to play a key role in progress against cancer. Today, major scientific discoveries in the laboratory are part of a revolution in biology. New tools to unravel the process of cancer are leading to exciting new approaches against cancer.
Clinical trials continue to be the link between such basic research and patients.
The goal is to translate the best of that research into findings that directly help people.
