About the President's Cancer Panel

The President's Cancer Panel monitors the activities of the National Cancer Program and reports to the President of the United States on barriers to progress in reducing the burden of cancer. The Panel accomplishes its mission by:

  1. Identifying high-priority topics relevant to the needs of the country and the cancer community.
  2. Convening meetings with key experts and stakeholders to develop an understanding of the challenges and potential solutions related to the selected topic.
  3. Submitting a report to the President of the United States with recommendations for actions that should be taken by relevant organizations to improve the National Cancer Program.

Representation of the National Cancer Program and its many stakeholders.

The Panel communicates its findings using a variety of tools—including print and web-based reports, social media, and presentations to a range of organizations. While reports are to the President, they are also for the larger group of stakeholders, public and private, that form the National Cancer Program as well as other partner organizations. Together, these organizations and others can make a positive difference in accelerating progress against cancer.
