Abstract: Basic Information. The US National Cancer Institute (NCI) The National Cancer Institute is the oldest and largest of the 27 institutes and 6 centers that comprise the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), which are part of the US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Public Health Service (PHS). First established in 1937 by Congress, NCI’s mission and responsibilities were expanded in the National Cancer Act of 1971. Currently, the NCI’s main responsibility is to coordinate the National Cancer Program, which fosters research, training, and health information dissemination programs with respect to the cause, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of cancer, rehabilitation from cancer, and survivorship concerns of cancer patients and their families.
