TheAmerican Cancer Society (ACS) is the largest and oldest voluntary health organization dedicated to fighting cancer in the U.S. and around the world. It’s mandate is to eliminate cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives, and diminishing suffering through research, education, advocacy and service. Our work in India started over six years ago aimed primarily at reducing tobacco use. In December 2005, the Society launched the “India Cancer Initiative,” a comprehensive cancer control initiative to work hand-in-hand with public, private and non-governmental (NGO) sectors to fight cancer collaboratively through reducing tobacco use and increasing access to early detection, treatment, and palliative care services.
