From the Today show’s groundbreaking colon cancer series, to the ongoing coverage of health issues on NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams, to our many philanthropic initiatives, NBC has a long history of raising cancer awareness and offering information on both prevention and treatment.

This year, more than a million people in the U.S. alone will be diagnosed with cancer. It’s a disease that affects countless families and communities every single day. We at NBC are pleased and proud to have this opportunity to join with Stand Up to Cancer, and hope that through our efforts and those of our broadcasting colleagues, millions of viewers will be educated and inspired to help fund research and treatments that will save lives and help us win this very important fight.
