The American Cancer Society is the leading cancer-fighting organization with a vision to end cancer as we know it, for everyone. We are the only organization working to improve the lives of people with cancer and their families through advocacy, research, and patient support. Our mission is to ensure everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer. We connect patients, caregivers, and family members with essential services and resources at every step of their cancer journey. Our highly trained specialists are available 24/7 via phone and online chat to provide information and guidance on cancer diagnosis and treatment options. We also offer a range of programs and services designed to support individuals and families affected by cancer, including lodging, transportation, and volunteer opportunities.
