Exciting news to share!
Hi, Hcis –
Our research team shared this overview of projects they supported in 2018, and I had to make sure you saw it.
Across the country, researchers are conducting breakthrough cancer research that will help save lives. They're able to find new ways to prevent, detect, and treat cancer because of you, Hcis.
Right now, your support will be DOUBLED, up to $50,000, to accelerate groundbreaking research and other lifesaving programs. That means your gift – even $10 – will do twice as much in the search for causes and cures.
I hope you won't miss the opportunity to make twice the impact on such important work. Thanks for making all this research and more possible. Even $10 can make a difference.

 | | | | 2018 American Cancer Society Research Prospectus | More than 1.7 million people will be diagnosed with cancer this year in the U.S.
That's why the American Cancer Society is dedicated to cutting-edge research that will lead to better prevention and early detection efforts and produce lifesaving treatments.
You made it possible for the American Cancer Society to fund more than 750 grantees across the country – supporting research in every area to make sure no stone is left unturned in the search for new ways to prevent, detect, and treat cancer. And because of you, millions of people are able to travel to treatment, get answers, and find support through American Cancer Society programs. | | Tackling cancer on two fronts – to save the most lives | Thanks to your support, the American Cancer Society plans a vigorous two-pronged approach to fund lifesaving, life-changing research. One is to accelerate the most promising research that could provide the next leap forward in better treatments and fewer side effects.
The second is to understand how to prevent cancer from developing – like conducting studies to discover which of our lifestyle choices influence our cancer risk. | | Targeting the complexity of cancer with the best science | Behind every new discovery, prevention, and treatment to beat cancer are some of the brightest, most promising researchers on the planet – ready to take the bold risks necessary to reap the highest rewards and save countless lives.
But every year, a significant number of approved, lifesaving research ideas still go unfunded. Your ongoing support of the American Cancer Society allows us to support promising researchers like: | | | | | |  | | Learning how tumors grow to uncover better approaches to stop them | | Gregg Semenza, MD, PhD | | Johns Hopkins University | | Dr. Semenza has uncovered how cancer cells adapt to an increased need for oxygen to support rapid growth. His discovery is leading to new therapeutic approaches to treat both primary and metastatic tumors. | |  | | Identifying a specific breast cancer that targets women of African ancestry | | Olufunmilayo Olopade, MD | | The University of Chicago | | Dr. Olopade has been able to locate and identify a distinctive profile of an early onset and aggressive form of breast cancer that occurs among women of African ancestry. This significant discovery has important implications for both screening and treatment to help save the lives of women who are at risk of developing this vicious form of cancer. | |  | | Studying the potential of bean consumption to prevent colon and rectal cancer recurrence | | Carrie Daniel-MacDougall, PhD, MPH | | University of Texas, MD Anderson in Houston | | Dr. MacDougall is conducting the BE GONE trial among obese survivors of colon and rectal cancer to study how eating beans affects their health. The focus is to determine if this dietary change enhances "good" bacteria in the gut to reduce the digestive and inflammatory effects of obesity. This could minimize the risk of cancer returning and promote better health and long-term survival. | | | | | | | | Imagine a world free from cancer.
