AACR FACTS AND FIGURES The mission of the American Association for Cancer Research is to prevent and cure cancer through research, education, communication, and collaboration. The AACR is the first and largest cancer research organization in the world. With an active government affairs agenda, the AACR increases awareness among legislators and the public about the importance of supporting cancer research. The AACR Foundation and its donors play a pivotal role in facilitating scientific advancement and accelerating progress against cancer. Eighty-eight cents of every dollar raised by the AACR Foundation is spent on meritorious cancer research. In total since 1993, the AACR has administered nearly $300 million in meritorious research funding. The AACR has been designated as an organization with an approved National Cancer Institute peer review and funding system. The AACR is the Scientific Partner of Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C). Since its founding in 2008, SU2C has awarded $233 million through the partnership with AACR to fund translational research. The AACR provides expert peer review, grants administration, and scientific oversight of team science and individual investigator grants that have the potential for near-term patient benefit. The AACR has more than 37,000 members in 108 countries and territories around the world; greater than 30 percent of members live outside the United States. More than 16 percent of AACR s international members are located in countries with emerging economies and are working to defeat the global scourge of cancer. Within the current AACR membership are 58 Nobel Laureates.

The AACR convened 36 scientific meetings, conferences, and workshops in 2016. More than 21,000 people attended the AACR Annual Meeting 2017. The AACR publishes eight peer-reviewed scientific journals: Cancer Discovery; Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention; Cancer Immunology Research; Cancer Prevention Research; Cancer Research; Clinical Cancer Research; Molecular Cancer Research, and Molecular Cancer Therapeutics. Articles in AACR journals were viewed more than 62 million times in 2015; all journal-related content and services were accessed more than 63 million times. Now in its 13th year, the AACR s Survivor and Patient Advocacy Program has collaborated with more than 140 advocacy organizations and exposed more than 600 graduates of the Scientist Survivor Program to the latest findings in cancer research. Cancer Today reaches 820,000 cancer patients, survivors, and the friends and family who care for them.
FACTS ABOUT CANCER Cancer is a worldwide health concern that affects people of all ages, races, and ethnicities. Highquality, innovative, and collaborative research is the path to finding new and alternative ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat cancer. As the first and largest scientific organization in the world focused on every aspect of high-quality, innovative cancer research, the American Association for Cancer Research works sideby-side with scientists, patients, and families as they face cancer s challenges. We have indeed made significant progress against many types of cancers, but much more work remains to be done if we are to successfully conquer cancer.

Cancer is the second-most common cause of death in the United States, exceeded only by heart disease. Cancer accounts for nearly one in every four deaths in the U.S. This year, approximately 1.69 million Americans will receive a new cancer diagnosis, and approximately 595,000 Americans will die from cancer. In the United States, almost 171,000 of the approximately 590,000 cancer-related deaths were caused by tobacco smoking in 2015. Tobacco causes 18 different cancers, including lung, head and neck, stomach, pancreas, and cervical, among others. Despite the great strides made in cancer prevention, detection, diagnosis, and treatment, racial and ethnic minorities continue to experience notably higher incidence and mortality rates for many types of cancer than the general population. Source: Cancer Facts & Figures 2016, published by the American Cancer Society THE COST OF CANCER The National Institutes of Health estimates that the overall costs of cancer in 2013 were $263.8 billion: $124.6 billion for direct medical costs (the total of all health expenditures) and $139.2 billion for indirect mortality costs (due to lost productivity due to premature death). It is estimated that the direct costs (medical expenditures) for cancer will reach at least $158 billion by 2020. Source: National Institutes of Health CANCER RESEARCH SAVES LIVES The National Cancer Institute estimates that nearly 14.5 million Americans with a history of cancer were alive on Jan. 1, 2014. Among adults, the five-year survival rate for all cancers diagnosed in 2004-2010 is 68 percent, which is up from 49 percent in 1975-1977. The five-year survival rate for all childhood cancers combined is 83 percent, which is an increase of 30 percent since 1975.

Several of these are precision medicine therapies that target specific mutations within a select group of patients. THE IMPORTANCE OF INVESTING IN CANCER RESEARCH In 2013, investments in the NIH supported more than 402,000 jobs at more than 2,500 research institutions in all 50 states. This investment generated $57.8 billion in economic activity. When taking inflation into account, the NIH has lost nearly 25 percent of its budget between 2003 and 2015, and this threatens our nation s position as the world leader in research and development. The 2016 federal budget included a nearly $2 billion increase for the NIH the first substantive increase in more than a decade.
