Tobacco use in the US continues to cause great harm. Learn about Dr. Michael Fiore and his NCI working group’s recommendations on Tobacco Control Research Priorities for the Next Decade.

This Cancer Moonshot initiative aims to establish an adult cancer immunotherapy network to develop immune-based approaches for the treatment and prevention of cancer in adult patients and discover why immunotherapy is effective in some patients but not in others.

Tumor samples and other biospecimens can be analyzed retrospectively to develop hypotheses about which tumor features can help predict clinical benefit. Ideally, this information can be used to improve treatment and outcomes for cancer patients.

Cancer Moonshot initiative to develop a better system for monitoring and managing patient-reported side effects, in an effort to minimize debilitating side effects and reduce cancer costs related to poorly controlled symptoms.

The development of cancer technologies to characterize tumors and test therapies can transform cancer research and clinical care.

This Cancer Moonshot initiative aims to establish a pediatric cancer immunotherapy network to discover and characterize new targets for immunotherapies and ultimately develop new, effective immunotherapy treatments for children and adolescents with cancer.

Researchers, clinicians, and patients across the country will need to share their collective data and knowledge to enable the development of new technologies and reduce the burden of cancer. This Cancer Moonshot initiative empowers and encourages such collaboration.

Find highlights of promising research about the treatment of pancreatic cancer, including studies of stroma modifying drugs and immunotherapy combinations. Selected NCI-supported programs that address pancreatic cancer are also described.

Learn about recent findings from studies that used immunotherapy and targeted therapies to treat lung cancer. Find how research efforts to detect lung cancer early are using blood and sputum samples and even artificial intelligence.
