Program areas at PCF

Educating people about how they can prevent cancer and detect it early through healthy lifestyle choices and medical screenings. The Foundation holds several educational conferences for professionals in the cancer field. We educate the public through our exhibit, the Prevent Cancer Super Colon. We work with the media on the importance of cancer prevention. The Foundation produces materials to educate the public on cancer prevention. The Foundation's Guide to Preventable Cancer outlines the nine cancers the Foundation focuses on, including symptoms of the cancer, risk factors, ways to reduce risk, screening methods and viruses and cancer.
Outreach. Reaching out to communities through programs that allow us to fund nationally and act locally. By empowering those who know their communities best, we are able to lend a hand to implement lifesaving cancer prevention and early detection programs that benefit all populations, especially the medically underserved.
Research. The Foundation funds researchers in the nation's most prestigious academic medical centers. This research helps increase insight into the disease and allows us to understand how to prevent cancer or detect it early when it is more likely to be successfully treated.
