American Association for Cancer Research (AACR)

Cancer is not a single disease, but rather a collection of diseases all characterized by the uncontrolled proliferation of cells.

A grant supported by individual donors to the AACR is helping Madelyn Espinosa-Cotton, PhD, pursue promising new research on a rare form of sarcoma that strikes teens and young adults.

Uterine sarcoma is a very rare kind of cancer that forms in the uterine muscles or in tissues that support the uterus. July is Sarcoma Awareness Month.

From April through June, the U.S. FDA issued 13 new oncology approvals, expanding treatment options for patients with cancer.

Uterine cancer incidence and mortality rates are projected to increase significantly over the next three decades, a recent study in the AACR journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention found.

Whether honoring a special person or a special day, a donation to the American Association for Cancer Research has a lasting impact.
