Since 1946, the American Cancer Society has invested $4.3 billion in cancer research, funding more than 47 Nobel Prize winning researchers and performing a key role in confirming that cigarette smoke is linked to lung cancer. In addition to these findings, the American Cancer Society has had a hand in almost all major cancer advancements to date.

Today, US cancer death rates are down 22% (more than 1.5 million lives saved), 49% of the nation is covered by a comprehensive smoke-free law, and 4.6 million women in need have been helped since 1991 through national early detection programs supported by the American Cancer Society.
