Everyone has a role to play in the fight against cancer. NCI recently released its Annual Plan & Budget Proposal, which describes a framework for accelerating progress to end cancer as we know it for all people. Read it here. go.nih.gov/PdfAesF #NCIFuture #Every1HasARole

Today, surgeons are finding tumors in lungs and ovaries more easily by using a molecular tool called CYTALUX. This tool was developed with support from NCI’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. Learn more. go.nih.gov/vgAPDO8 #NCIFuture #CancerResearch

This story shows how the NCI SBIR program fuels innovation to benefit patients. Small businesses can turn groundbreaking ideas like CYTALUX—a molecule that makes tumors glow in the operating room—into reality with federal funding + resources. go.nih.gov/vgAPDO8 #NCIFuture

#CancerVaccine research has shown potential for great progress in preventing cancer and developing effective treatments. go.nih.gov/VsWSGAd #NCIFuture

Vaccines against cancer-causing viruses like #HPV have been successful at preventing some cancers. And now vaccines against cancer itself have shown promise for those with genetic conditions that increase their risk of the disease. go.nih.gov/VsWSGAd #NCIFuture

Cancer vaccine research shows promise for both prevention and treatment. One day, vaccines may help prevent cancer in high-risk individuals and harness the power of the immune system to help eliminate the disease in people living with cancer. go.nih.gov/VsWSGAd #NCIFuture

No family should have to sacrifice lifesaving cancer treatments or settle for less effective care to avoid financial ruin. National Cancer Institute is committed to tackling financial toxicity and finding solutions to ease this burden. go.nih.gov/YtN7q8x #NCIFuture

About half of those diagnosed with cancer experience financial hardship, and some skip their treatments because of high costs. Addressing this problem will require sustained support for NCI’s research networks and community involvement. go.nih.gov/YtN7q8x #NCIFuture

NIH Clinical Center After enrolling in a clinical trial at NIH Clinical Center, Justin completed a 5-drug treatment called ViPOR. One year later, he returned to his job that he loved at National Park Service, and 3 years later the cancer has not come back. Read his story. go.nih.gov/6Qs6gcn #NCIFuture

Justin was diagnosed with a form of non-Hodgkin #Lymphoma. After several treatments, including surgery, the cancer came back. The disease was more aggressive, and he felt like he was running out of options. #NCIFuture #survivorship NIH Clinical Center 🧵

Justin's story highlights the power of #CancerResearch to transform lives. After facing aggressive cancer and exhausting other treatments, he found hope in an NCI #ClinicalTrial. Today, he’s back at the National Park Service, likely cancer-free. go.nih.gov/6Qs6gcn #NCIFuture

After decades of promoting collaborations and supporting progress in #CancerBiology research, National Cancer Institute is poised to unite discrete research areas that contribute to our understanding of the effects of cancer on the entire body. go.nih.gov/qJlNLp5 #NCIFuture

Cancer is a whole-body problem. If we hope to meet the #NationalCancerPlan goals to develop effective treatments and deliver optimal care, we must identify, understand, and overcome the systemic effects of cancer. go.nih.gov/qJlNLp5 #NCIFuture

The return on investment in cancer biology research provides a clearer picture of how cancer communicates with and affects the entire body. That knowledge is critical to inform proactive, personalized treatment plans for people with cancer. go.nih.gov/qJlNLp5 #NCIFuture
