Chances are Cancer will touch someone you love. These pages are dedicated to awareness and education in the fight against cancer. Current research shows that at least 50 per cent of cancers can be prevented through healthy lifestyle choices and policies that protect the public. But we need to learn more so that fewer Can- adians will be diagnosed with this disease. This is why funding pre- vention research is an important focus of the Canadian Cancer So- cietys efforts to understand more about how the disease develops and how we can stop it before it starts. Our current prevention research efforts include: The Prevention Initiative: The Initiative allows investments that will increase cancer prevention re- search activities across Canada. The Canadian Cancer Society will give approximately $17.5 million to this initiative over the next five years. Individual research grants: This program supports the most prom- ising projects, which are chosen through a world-renowned peer-re- view process. Additionally, it offers opportunities that train, develop and support the next generation of cancer researchers. This year, the Society is funding close to $3 mil- lion in prevention research ranging from clinical trials to behavioural research to molecular and genetic studies. Clinical trials: The NCIC Clinical Trials Group leads and participates in clinical trials across Canada and around the world. It carries out clin- ical trials in several areas, including prevention.
