1. By translating our research findings into action, we've seen a 20% decline in US cancer death rates since the early 1990s. 2. We help people everywhere fight cancer, connecting millions of patients a year to answers, free rides to treatment, a place to stay when traveling for treatment, and more. 3. We’ve been part of nearly every major cancer breakthrough in recent history. 4. For 100 years, we’ve been working to transform cancer from deadly to treatable to preventable. 5. Seventy-two cents of every dollar goes directly to research, prevention, detection, treatment, and patient support. The rest fuels supporting services for our lifesaving work.
