National Cancer Survivor Month

Cayden Addision, an acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) survivor, with his mother, Courtney Addision.

Thanks to cancer research, there are currently more than 18 million people living with a history of cancer in the United States. Each person diagnosed with cancer faces a unique set of challenges, but one in four survivors reports a poor physical quality of life and one in 10 reports poor mental health-related quality of life. We need to do better.

AACR celebrates survivors and encourages individuals touched by cancer to learn more about the science of survivorship and discover how research is improving cancer-related outcomes and saving lives.
