Present
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:
“There is always a present and extant life, be it better or worse, which all combine to uphold.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The present necessarily betrays the past.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
