American Cancer Society’s India Cancer Initiative Launches New Web Site
The American Cancer Society's India Cancer Initiative has launched a new Web site primarily aimed at the Asian Indian community living in the US. The site provides information on the cancer crisis in India, the American Cancer Society’s efforts to address the India cancer burden, and ways that the community can contribute to the cause.

The mission of the American Cancer Society is to eliminate cancer as a major health problem.
Because cancer is a global health problem, this mission extends around the world. Cancer is increasing as a leading killer globally, especially in the developing world.
The American Cancer Society is emerging as a global leader in
addressing the growing cancer burden. We fight cancer through three
areas of global mission delivery: advocacy, capacity building, and
information.
