Did you know up to 50% of cancers in the United States could be prevented by making healthy lifestyle choices? That is why prevention is a cornerstone of our mission at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center to #endcancer. In this issue, you will read about some of the lifesaving programs your Annual Fund gifts help make possible. From supporting smoking cessation to community outreach and education, your contributions are helping change the face of cancer. Thank you.
