	The major goals of the Cancer Prevention and Treatment Fund are to educate individuals and policymakers about behavioral and systemic changes that would reduce the risk of cancer, use unbiased research findings to improve the quality of treatment for cancer patients, and improve screening technology and programs for lung cancer and other cancers that tend to be diagnosed in late stages. Survival rates for cancers are lowest when screening is inadequate to result in early diagnosis and treatment.
