This is "Act Against Cancer," the University of Arizona Cancer Center's news and wellness blog. We'll be covering the latest cutting-edge treatments and therapies developed by UACC researchers and physicians, as well as the research and developments that are impacting cancer care and prevention throughout the world.

This blog will feature helpful health, diet and exercise tips — both for cancer prevention and cancer survivorship, along with the latest updates from the National Cancer Institute and the University of Arizona Health Network.

"Act Against Cancer" will also provide a forum for patients to tell their uniquely inspiring stories. Our goal is for this blog to be an interactive way for patients, physicians, researchers, and cancer survivors to share stories with one another.

In the future, we hope to showcase our best community outreach events, along with the fundraising efforts that are so vital to the UACC's mission — to prevent and cure cancer.
