Through Cancer Center Support grants, this program supports three types of centers: Comprehensive Cancer Centers conduct programs in all three areas of research—basic research, clinical research, and prevention and control research—as well as programs in community outreach and...
- NCI Research on Childhood Cancers
In the United States, approximately 8,600 children were diagnosed with cancer and about 1,500 children died from the disease in 2001. While this makes cancer the leading cause of death by disease among U.S. children under age 15, cancer is still relatively rare in this age group, with, on average, 1 to 2 children developing the disease each year for every 10,000 children in the United States. Among the 12 major types of childhood cancers, leukemias (blood cell cancers) and brain and other...

Key Points The National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) http://www.cancer.gov Web site provides access to cancer information, clinical trial results, and prepared literature searches on specific cancer topics (see the http://www.cancer.gov Web site section). NCI’s PDQ database contains cancer information summaries and abstracts of ongoing cancer clinical trials (see the PDQ section). NCI’s Cancer Information Service staff provide the latest cancer information (see the Cancer Information Service...
- NCI’s Clinical Trials Cooperative Group Program
Key Points The Clinical Trials Cooperative Group Program is designed to promote and support clinical trials (research studies) of new cancer treatments, explore methods of cancer prevention and early detection, and study quality of life and rehabilitation issues. Cooperative groups include researchers, cancer centers, and community physicians throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe. The Clinical Trials Cooperative Group Program, which is sponsored by the National Cancer Institute...
- NCI Studies of Hydrazine Sulfate
In the 1980s and early 1990s, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) sponsored studies of hydrazine sulfate to evaluate whether the compound might improve patient survival or help reverse cancer cachexia, a wasting syndrome that occurs in many patients who have advanced cancer. This syndrome profoundly affects patients’ quality of life as well as their health, causing weight loss, fatigue, weakness, and loss of appetite. After hydrazine sulfate showed promising results in a small pilot study,...
