The Nation’s Investment in Cancer Research: Connecting the Nation’s Cancer Community (An Annual Plan and Budget Proposal Fiscal year 2011)

This book is the story of opportunity: how NCI is exploiting the confluence of unexpected new financial resources and a steady stream of scientific and technological advances, in order to make strides in cancer risk reduction, early detection, patient care, and survivorship.

This document is about the initiatives NCI has begun or strengthened, to guide cancer research through the remaining years of the 21st century. These plans and programs, if nurtured in the years ahead, hold great promise of unprecedented progress. They also remind us of the economic force that is cancer research, bringing and sustaining quality jobs in communities across the nation.
