What is the best way to help people with cancer?

Whether you want to give money or your time, helping a cancer charity can make a massive difference in the lives of people with cancer. But it can take a lot of work to determine which charities best fit you.

The best way to choose is to learn about the mission and values of each group. This will help you decide which charity is the best one for you.

Gateway for Cancer Research is a great charity to choose if you want to help fund early-stage clinical trials. It uses 99 cents of every dollar donated to fund these groundbreaking studies, often leading to the discovery of new drugs.

The organization's goal is to create a world where getting a cancer diagnosis is no longer scary, and its values are based on providing care centered on the patient. It gives most of its money to complementary and alternative medicine and encourages researchers to find ways to tailor treatments to each patient's biology, environment, and needs.

The group also gives money to clinical trials that try to improve the quality of life for people with cancer. Its grantees are told to think about how patients feel when planning and doing research, and its staff works hard to ensure patients' voices are heard at every step.

As the founder and chief visionary officer of the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation, the world-famous surgeon and breast cancer advocate have made it her life's work to eliminate breast cancer.

The Foundation wants to get rid of breast cancer in the future by getting both the public and the scientific community involved in new research on what causes it and how to stop it. It also emphasizes education and working together.

Watchdog of charities Charity Navigator says that 97% of the money raised by the Foundation goes directly to programs and services, and only 1% goes to administrative costs.

Love has talked about controversial issues in both her professional and personal life. She has criticized how the medical establishment treats women, pushed for cancer surgery that saves as much breast tissue as possible, and fought to give same-sex couples more rights as parents. She wrote a groundbreaking article for the New England Journal of Medicine that questioned the link between fibrocystic disease and breast cancer. She has also written more than 40 books about women's health.

American Humane is one of the oldest and most successful nonprofit groups in the United States. Eighty-six cents of every dollar raised go directly to programs. This is the highest ratio among national humane organizations.

American Humane is also a "Top Rated Charity" by Charity Navigator and a "GuideStar Exchange Gold Participant."

The charity aims to protect and improve the lives of animals, especially those that are often forgotten. They also try to make people more aware of the bond between people and animals.

I have worked with them on projects like their Red Star program for disaster relief and Animal Assisted Therapy research (AAT). Their team works hard, is dedicated to their mission, and cares deeply about the well-being of animals.

The Cancer Research Institute is a federal agency that leads, funds, and does research to prevent and treat cancer. The National Cancer Institute is in charge of it (NCI).

The Cancer Institute uses Stanford University and Stanford Health Care's scientific, technological, and human resources to speed up and jumpstart research that helps us learn more about cancer. This changes how we try to stop cancer, find it and treat it.

The mission of the Cancer Research Institute is to support multidisciplinary basic cancer research and turn scientific discoveries into better ways to prevent cancer, diagnose it, and treat it that are safer and more effectively. It also tries to change how cancer patients are cared for by spreading evidence-based practices to the Stanford community and ten counties nearby.

LLS is the most critical organization in the world fighting blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma, and Hodgkin's disease. The Society funds research that could save lives and offers free information and help services.

The society also works for federal and state policies that make it easier for people to get care. For example, Society helps get more money for research on blood cancer and speeds up the time it takes to review and approve new treatments.

LLS is the largest nonprofit health organization in the country that focuses on blood cancer. It puts patients first and believes everyone affected by blood cancer should have access to high-quality, affordable, coordinated care. Because of this belief, the organization aims to save lives by finding cures for blood cancers.
