The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is a leading federal agency dedicated to cancer research, prevention, and treatment. Its mission is to “lead the national effort to eliminate the suffering and death due to cancer” (National Cancer Institute, 2023). NCI focuses on advancing scientific knowledge about cancer causes, developing new treatments, and providing public education to reduce cancer incidence and mortality. The agency offers a variety of programs, including research funding initiatives, patient support services, and community outreach efforts aimed at cancer prevention and early detection. Additionally, NCI collaborates with other national and international organizations to promote research and innovative approaches to combat cancer. The NCI’s website provides extensive resources for patients, researchers, and healthcare professionals seeking information and support. Its commitment to reducing cancer burden makes it a vital component of the U.S. healthcare landscape.
