“I am incredibly proud of what our team at the American Cancer Society accomplished in 2023, from awarding 100 new research and career development grants and launching ACS LION to our American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) team working to address gaps in cancer care by advocating for specific policies.
