The National Cancer Institute is the Nation's primary agency leading the fight against cancer by supporting and conducting ground-breaking research in cancer biology, causation, prevention, detection, treatment and survivorship. NCI's goal is to stimulate and support scientific discovery and its application to achieve a future when all cancers are uncommon and easily treatable. The NCI works toward this goal by providing vision to the Nation and leadership for thousands of NCI funded researchers across the United States and around the world, and working to assure that the results of research are translated into reducing the burden of all cancers for all people.
