Many resources
regarding research on cancer. They include:
American
Association for Cancer Research - The American Association for Cancer
Research (AACR), a scientific society of over 19,000 laboratory and clinical
cancer researchers, was founded in 1907 to facilitate communication and
dissemination of knowledge among scientists and others dedicated to the
cancer problem; to foster research in cancer and related biomedical sciences;
to encourage presentation and discussion of new and important observations
in the field; to foster public education, science education, and training;
and to advance the understanding of cancer etiology, prevention, diagnosis,
and treatment throughout the world.
Cancer
Research Program and Funding - As the nation’s largest private, not-for-profit
source of funds for scientists studying cancer, the American Cancer Society
(ACS) focuses its funding on investigator-initiated, peer-reviewed proposals.
Cancer

Clinical Cancer Centers by the National Cancer Institute.
University
of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center - Research efforts at the Cancer
Center move from inivestigations in a laboratory setting -- "basic
science" -- to charting discoveries with the help of patient -- "clinical
science." Moving discoveries in basic science to application in clinical
science is called "translational research," and it is the cornerstone
of the Cancer Center's research efforts.
Dana
Farber Cancer Institute - Dana-Farber is staking out new territory
in the fight against cancer, from advancing the understanding of the genetic
makeup of cancer cells to developing novel therapies to diagnose, treat,
and prevent the disease.
Stanford:
Clinical Cancer Center - The Clinical Cancer Center at Stanford is
an international leader in cancer research and innovative therapy. The
mission of the Center is to provide comprehensive care through multidisciplinary
collaboration and integrated services, to advance cancer therapies through
clinical research, and to train future leaders in the treatment of patients
with cancer.
Memorial
Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center - The Sloan-Kettering Institute is the
basic-science research arm of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center with
programs in Developmental Biology, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Cellular
Biochemistry & Biophysics, and Molecular Pharmacology& Chemistry
