Improving Cancer Prevention Strategies NFCR supports ongoing research on dietary nutrients, cutting-edge cancer prevention drugs, and risk model development. These efforts are critical for raising cancer awareness and improving prevention of many types of cancer.
Developing Cancer Early-Detection Tools NFCR scientists are developing highly sensitive technologies that can detect cancer at its earliest stage, leading to faster, more targeted treatments and dramatic increases in effectiveness and survival rate.
Advancing Cancer Treatment NFCR is paving the way for cancer therapies that are tailored to an individual's genetic makeup. This genetics-based approach will mean an end to traditional therapies' one-size-fits-all approach and a dramatic shift in the way we fight cancer. We're also engineering "smart viruses"to target cancer cells and developing treatments that shut down a tumor's vital blood supply, so it can't grow or spread.

Famous quotes containing the word present:
“No people can more exactly interpret the inmost meaning of the present situation in Ireland than the American Negro. The scheme is simple. You knock a man down and then have him arrested for assault. You kill a man and then hang the corpse.”
—W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)
“It is the dissenter, the theorist, the aspirant, who is quitting this ancient domain to embark on seas of adventure, who engages our interest. Omitting then for the present all notice of the stationary class, we shall find that the movement party divides itself into two classes, the actors, and the students.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“People may flatter themselves just as much by thinking that their faults are always present to other people’s minds, as if they believe that the world is always contemplating their individual charms and virtues.”
—Elizabeth Gaskell (1810–1865)
