One of the best ways to change the narrative about cancer, to end it as we know it now, is, to prevent it from even happening. As the Division of Cancer Prevention, we are renewing the call of the original National Cancer Act and working to end cancer as we know it today. In 1971, the cancer we knew was largely fatal, hard to detect and hard to prevent. When we brainstormed who should be included among the individuals who gave years of their lives and work to ending cancer, we came up with more names than we could feature in one year.Įach story we posted tells a small part of the larger story of cancer research, a story that is still unfolding as we work to end cancer as we know it, to use President Biden’s words. Starting in March of this year, we, the NCI Division of Cancer Prevention, honored the champions and changemakers of prevention, detection, and supportive care science, including those who focused on cancer health disparities in these areas.
