Scenarios about 'National Cancer Act'
A landmark piece of U.S. legislation signed by President Nixon in 1971 that significantly expanded federal cancer research funding and established what became known as the "War on Cancer." The Act restructured the National Cancer Institute, created national cancer research centers, and established a national cancer program aimed at more effectively preventing, diagnosing, and treating cancer. In alternate history scenarios, different implementations or timing of this legislation could significantly alter medical research priorities, healthcare systems, and cancer mortality rates.
