[2001] 30 Years of Fighting Cancer – Reflections on the Past, Challenges for the Future
Nearly thirty years ago, President Richard M. Nixon launched the “War on Cancer,” signing the National Cancer Act on December 23, 1971. The progress in the years since and the work still needed to win this war were discussed at a forum, “30 Years of Fighting Cancer: Reflections on the Past, Challenges for the Future,” co-sponsored by AAAS and Americans for Medical Progress (AMP) on November 7, 2001.
