The National Foundation for Cancer Research
The National Foundation for Cancer Research (NFCR) was founded in 1973 to
support cancer research from a scientific perspective. NFCR research at both
the cellular and molecular levels is leading to improved prevention, earlier
diagnosis, new treatments, and eventually a cure for cancer. By supporting
the best ideas of the best minds and by facilitating collaboration among all
researchers, advances in one field contribute to discoveries in another. This
is what NFCR's "Laboratory Without Walls" makes possible. For more
