The American Cancer Society supports patient service programs, education advocacy efforts, and research in the fight against cancer ... and our animals benefit, too! Comparative oncology studies and prevention recommendations are just a few ways that our pets are being helped. Much of what we have learned about cancer prevention in humans applies to animals:

Diet, nutrition and exercise are important elements in preventing cancer in humans; pet owners should take care to give their pets a good diet and exercise them regularly for the same reasons. Pet owners should consult with their veterinarian to determine the best diet for their pet.

Animals are affected by second-hand smoke just as humans are. Protect yourself, your family and your pets by not smoking.

Reasons to Support The American Cancer Society
  • We are all affected by cancer. ACS researchers estimate that there will be 1,529,560 new cancer cases and 569,490 deaths from cancer in 2010. Over 20,000 South Carolina residents will hear the words, “you have cancer” this year.

  • The American Cancer Society funds innovative research. Over the years, 44 of the scientists who received grants from the Society have gone on to receive the Nobel Prize. The Society is the largest non-profit source of cancer research dollars, behind only the federal government.

  • Research leads to results. The relative five-year survival rate for cancer today is 66 percent - up from 50 percent in the late 1970s. The American Cancer Society is local. Our programs, services and volunteers touch virtually every community in the nation.

The American Cancer Society is the nationwide community-based voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives and diminishing suffering from cancer, through research, education, advocacy, and service.
