	American Cancer Society
		The American Cancer Society continues to rely on the 1997 Melbye study (also known as the Danish study), although it has been severely criticized for its errors of misclassification and data adjustment.
		The truth is that the Society does not have a “position” on abortion and breast cancer since studies are inconclusive.
		Contrary to the Society’s assertion that the American Cancer Society has no position, the fact is that its position is made eminently clear by its reliance on the seriously flawed 1997 Melbye study and its continued denial of an association between induced abortion and breast cancer.

	The American Cancer Society: The World's Wealthiest "Nonprofit" Institution
		The American Cancer Society is fixated on damage control— diagnosis and treatment— and basic molecular biology, with indifference or even hostility to cancer prevention.
		The "nonprofit" status of the Society is in sharp conflict with its high overhead and expenses, excessive reserves of assets and contributions to political parties.
		The Cancer Prevention Coalition (chaired by the author) in April 1999 formally announced a nationwide campaign for an economic boycott of the ACS (http://www.preventcancer.com).

	American Cancer Society
		In 1971, when studies unequivocally proved that diethylstilbestrol (DES) caused vaginal cancers in teenaged daughters of women administered the drug during pregnancy, the ACS refused an invitation to testify at congressional hearings to require the FDA to ban its use as an animal feed additive.
		In a damage-control memorandum sent to some forty-eight regional divisions, the ACS trivialized pesticides as a cause of childhood cancer, and reassured the public that carcinogenic pesticide residues in food are safe, even for babies.
		What the ACS did not disclose was that the gel in these implants had clearly been shown to induce cancer in several industry rodent studies, and that these implants were also contaminated with other potent carcinogens such as ethylene oxide and crystalline silica (pages 609-611).

		Experts also warn that women need to be aware of their lung cancer risk, since they may be especially vulnerable to developing the disease.
		"Women are particularly susceptible to lung cancer because of the hormone estrogen," said Sandra Norman, Ph.D., president of the American Cancer Society, Pennsylvania Division.

	American Cancer Society: Penile cancer and circumcision

	Cigars Increase Lung Cancer Risk Five-Fold, Per American Cancer Society/CDC Study in JNCI
		Current cigar smokers who said they inhaled their cigar smoke were 2.7 times more likely to die of pancreatic cancer and 3.6 times more likely to die of bladder cancer than men who never smoked.
		The researchers followed the men for 12 years, identified those who died of cancer during that time period and used statistical analyses to characterize the association between cigar smoking and death from tobacco-related cancers, after accounting for other cancer risk factors.
		The researchers speculate that one reason they found higher death rates from lung cancer than reported in previous U.S. studies of cigar smoking is that there may have been changes over time in the type of cigars smoked in the U.S., with cigars becoming more lethal over time.
