In this section:


Overview

This section of the website is aimed at introducing cancer patients, their supporters, advocates and other interested individuals to cancer research.

No previous background is assumed, and each sub-section can be read individually.

"Italicized” words are defined in the glossary; many are also further discussed in other parts of this section.

The Importance of Research

As survivors who work to better understand the research process, we feel it is imperative that others who also want to understand this, have an opportunity to. We know that today’s treatments where yesterdays research ideas. It takes time, money and dedicated individuals to translate that promise to reality.

We hope this information helps you understand how important research is to each of us. This becomes a public policy issue as Congress and the President set budget amounts. You can find out more about the specifics of the public policy piece of this from individual non profits listed in our resource section.
