Making cancer prevention possible

Cancer Immunoprevention Network (CIP-Net): Pathways, Targets, Immune Cells, Vaccines, Agents

NCI Funding Approved to Expand Research on Immunoprevention, Natural Products

The National Cancer Institute’s (NCI’s) Board of Scientific Advisors (BSA) recently approved two new concept proposals aimed at expanding potential prevention interventions. One will strengthen research in the nascent field of immunoprevention, and the other will accelerate the development of novel natural products for intercepting cancer at the earliest stages of disease.

Leveraging Artificial Intelligence to Improve Accuracy of Lung Cancer Screening

By the time lung cancer is diagnosed, the disease has often already spread outside the lung. Therefore, researchers have sought to develop methods to screen for lung cancer in high-risk populations before symptoms appear. They are evaluating whether the integration of artificial intelligence – the use of computer programs or algorithms that use data to make decisions or predictions – could improve the accuracy and speed of diagnosis, aid clinical decision-making, and lead to better health outcomes.

MISSION STATEMENT

The Division of Cancer Prevention furthers the mission of the National Cancer Institute by leading, supporting, and promoting rigorous, innovative research and training to prevent cancer and its consequences to improve the health of all people.
