About the American Cancer Society

At the American Cancer Society, our focus is the patient. Empathy is at our core of everything that we do, because to us, every single cancer journey is unique and important. Our voice should be bold, impactful, and above all, evoke feeling and emotion. Instead of feeling like a large, faceless organization, our tone should reflect what our caregivers offer cancer patients every day: a caring voice, support, patience, and reassurance.

What We Do

While most people know us for our research, we do so much more. We work to end cancer as we know it, for everyone. We advocate for lifesaving policy changes. We promote healthy lifestyles to help you prevent cancer. We research cancer and its causes to find more answers and better treatments. We provide information, answers, and support to people in every community who have been touched by cancer. And we do it all 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
