Table 1 shows federal spending at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for
research on selected cancer sites (i.e., the part of the body in which the cancer presents
itself). Most cancer research at NIH is conducted by the National Cancer Institute (NCI);
NCI amounts are indicated in parentheses (which are a subset of the number above it).
The estimate for FY2009 is based on the President's request.

other cancer sites, NIH supports basic cancer research on prevention, epidemiology, carcinogenesis, tumor
biology, immunology, as well as research on diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients.
