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.

“Each your doing,
So singular in each particular,
Crowns what you are doing in the present deeds,
That all your acts are queens.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

Than a dull prospect of a distant good.”
