National Cancer Institute
NCI’s cancer research portfolio is vast and complex, delving into the collection of diseases we call cancer through many different avenues of study. Importantly, cancer research benefits the study of dozens of other diseases, for research in cancer greatly informs science’s understandings of human biology, in the healthy person and the patient. Likewise, given its burden and impact, cancer affects the entire healthcare system, so NCI’s work can lead in many healthcare management areas, just one of which is the adoption of electronic medical records. The next section of this publication will delve into many of the ways NCI strives to put its science to work for patients.
