The Cancer Prevention and Treatment Fund is a Washington D.C.-based nonprofit program that is part of the National Center for Health Research (formerly National Research Center for Women & Families), founded in 1999.
The Cancer Prevention and Treatment Fund analyzes published research, explains contradictory research findings, and helps health professionals, patients, and consumers understand the implications by explaining the findings in reports, published articles, and on its website.
In addition, the Fund develops and distributes free booklets for people with cancer, and provides training, continuing education, and information to health care professionals diagnosing and treating cancer.
