The AACR will unveil its first-ever AACR Cancer Progress Report during a media event held at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., at 3:30 p.m. ET today. The AACR Cancer Progress Report 2011, released 40 years after the National Cancer Act was signed into law, is a call to action for the general public and for lawmakers to support critical funding increases for life-saving cancer and biomedical research programs. It urges Congress to provide the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) with sustained budget increases of at least 5 percent above the biomedical inflation rate. This level of support will ensure the future scientific advances needed to capitalize on past research investments, spur innovation, and make a difference in peoples' lives.
