TOGETHER, WE'RE SAVING LIVES
The early years -- The American Cancer Society was
founded in 1913 by 10 doctors and 5 laypeople in New York City. It was called
the American Society for the Control of Cancer (ASCC). At that time, a cancer
diagnosis meant near-certain death. Rarely mentioned in public, this disease
was steeped in fear and denial. Doctors sometimes did not tell their patients
they had cancer, and patients often did not tell their friends and families
that they had been diagnosed with it.
In 1945 ASCC was reorganized
as the American Cancer Society. It was the beginning of a new era for the
organization. The Society is proud to have contributed in the work that has
resulted in a 27% drop in the overall cancer death rate in the U.S. That drop
equates to 2.6 million fewer cancer deaths between 1991 and 2016. Progress
continues and is currently estimated at 500 fewer cancer deaths each day. (Last
