Cancer in 2024.

Excerpts from the 14th edition of the annual American Association for Cancer Research Cancer Progress Report (https://cancerprogressreport.aacr.org/progress/) and the third edition of the American Association for Cancer Research Cancer Disparities Progress Report (https://cancerprogressreport.aacr.org/disparities/) to US Congress and the public, both released in 2024, highlight significant strides made possible through medical research, much of which is supported by federal investments in the NIH, NCI, FDA, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as recent progress in understanding the overlapping and intersecting causes of cancer disparities and in addressing health inequities through evidence-based public policies.
