Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) protects people in the U.S. from health threats by monitoring disease, conducting critical research, and promoting prevention and public health. Get cancer statistics and find out more about what CDC is doing to lower cancer risks in the U.S.

National Cancer Institute (NCI) is the primary U.S. public agency for cancer research. NCI conducts and supports research, training, health information distribution, and other programs related to the cause, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of cancer, rehabilitation from cancer, and the continuing care of cancer patients and the families of cancer patients.
