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:
“The further our civilization advances upon its present lines so much the cheaper sort of thing does “fame” become, especially of the literary sort. This species of “fame” a waggish acquaintance says can be manufactured to order, and sometimes is so manufactured.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
““I don’t suppose there’s a man going, as possesses the fondness for youth that I do. There’s youth to the amount of eight hundred pound a-year, at Dotheboys Hall at this present time. I’d take sixteen hundred pound worth, if I could get ‘em, and be as fond of every individual twenty pound among ‘em as nothing should equal it!””
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“What is love? ‘Tis not hereafter,
Present mirth hath present laughter.
What’s to come is still unsure.
In delay there lies no plenty,
Then come kiss me, sweet and twenty.
Youth’s a stuff will not endure.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
