American Internet Tech donates to American Cancer Society (January 2020)
We have entered 2020, a new year and a new decade. In the last 10 years, the overall cancer death rate has continued to decline. Researchers in the US and across the world have made major advances in learning more complex details about how to prevent, diagnose, treat, and survive cancer. These are some of the significant advances from the past 10 years that are helping to save lives now.
• Treating Cancer Became More Precise
• Cancers Can Spread With Help From Their Neighbors
• Two New Types of Immunotherapy Were Developed
• More People Started Getting the Message that Obesity Is Linked with Cancer
• Smoking Is Still the Most Preventable Cause of Cancer Deaths
• Researchers Discover More About the Microbiome’s Influence on Cancer
• DNA Mutations Aren’t the Only Causes of Cancer
• Health Equity Matters
• New Understanding About Cancer Cells’ Metabolism Opens the Door for New Drug Targets
• Researchers Highlighted the Benefits of Receiving Palliative Care Early in Cancer Treatment
American Cancer Society has taken steps to prepare for the next decade of cancer research including developing a blueprint to improve cancer control in the US, increasing the ability for some of the best cancer experts to work together, collecting blood and tissue samples from volunteers in the ACS Cancer Prevention Studies that will allow for more research, and starting new partnerships that can help promote more cancer research, such as with St. Baldrick’s Foundation for children’s cancers and the Melanoma Research Alliance.
American Internet Tech will continue to support the American Cancer Society for this new year as well by making monthly donations and help make the dream of a world without cancer, come true.
Happy New Year!
