Answer 1

Dear Student,

Kindly find anwers to your questions

Yes,I expect to benefit from the research efforts sponsored by the American Cancer Society due to following reason :

A 60-person team of expert researchers dedicated to improving your knowledge of nearly every aspect of cancer, from what causes it to how we can end it. At the American Cancer Society, we’re on a mission to free the world from cancer. Until we do, we’ll be funding and conducting research, sharing expert information, supporting patients, and spreading the word about prevention. All so you can live longer — and better.

In the mission of eradication of cancer Americal Cancer Society is doing hard work in following main area

1) Conduct large-scale nationwide cancer prevention studies

Since the 1950s, the American Cancer Society’s Cancer Prevention Studies have helped advance our understanding of cancer so that we can ultimately prevent it. The insight we’ve gained from more than 2.5 million participants over more than half a century has informed cancer prevention and control programs, policies, and guidelines.

2) Study cancer epidemiology and behavioral factors

The Behavioral and Epidemiology Research Group conducts original research to identify and modify cancer risk factors and behaviors, with the goal of improving cancer outcomes and quality of life among cancer survivors, caregivers, and the general population. We also seek to advance our understanding of cancer etiology, survival and long-term survivorship.

3) Research tobacco control to impact policies worldwide

obacco remains a leading cause of cancer worldwide, and our Economic and Health Policy Research program is dedicated to reducing the burden. With a focus on the economic and policy aspects of tobacco control, such as illicit trade and tobacco taxation, our researchers help educate governments and international organizations about the scope of tobacco’s impact. One highlight of such collaborative work: The Tobacco Atlas.

4) Analyze the cancer landscape – and work to improve it

The Surveillance and Health Services Research program produces several widely-cited reports (including our flagship Cancer Facts & Figures) on cancer incidence, mortality, early detection, and more. The team identifies critical gaps in cancer care, and takes leadership in policy initiatives to address these gaps. The group also collaborates with scientists and organizations nationally and internationally.

5) Assess the impact of American Cancer Society programs

The Statistics and Evaluation Center (SEC) is a shared resource of professional statisticians and evaluators that provide support to investigators in the research and cancer control departments at the American Cancer Society. The SEC has three main responsibilities: to assist Society researchers in the design, analysis, and preparation of manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals; to function as part of the Society team that evaluates selected mission delivery interventions; and to conduct methods research on cancer-related problems for publication in peer-reviewed journals.

I will also contribute in this mission by following ways

1) Become member of charitable foundation

2) Be volunteer to help need people by providing medical expenses and necessary things

3) 10 % Amount of earning will be funded to American cancer society every year
