I work for the National Cancer Institute and want to correct some factual inaccuracies on this page. The reference to NCI as a "a federally funded research and development center" is misleading, for the following reasons:
Also, the page does not describe some of the key areas of research that NCI supports. It focuses on two aspects - drug development and quality assurance for the use of radiaton therapy on clinical trials. This is also misleading.
I would suggest that the page be structured to describe the key areas of research supported by NCI.
Cancer biology and genomic research, translational and clinical research, epidemiologic research, cancer control and prevention research, health services research
In addition, NCI funds and supports the cancer research and care delvery infrastructure through bioinformatics and biospecimens and repositories platforms, NCI-designated cancer centers and community cancer centers programs, SBIR and technology transfer programs. -- Quietvillager ( talk) 14:14, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

NCI recently adopted a new logo and the agency's communications office would like the page to display the new logo, which is now available on Wikimedia Commons in both English and Spanish.
Disclosure: I am an employee of NCI and wish to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest. Thus, I am requesting help from the Wikipedia community to change the logo on the page about the National Cancer Institute to reflect the current design.

This page does not reflect the most recent changes in NCI leadership. On November 1, 2019, Norman "Ned" Sharpless resumed his position as NCI director following his temporary reassignment as acting Commissioner of Food and Drugs. This Wikipedia page should note that change.
I’d like to suggest the following changes be made to the Introduction section, the Leadership table, and the top-right infobox.

For the Leadership table, I suggest deleting the row for Douglas Lowy as acting director and changing the second column of the row for Norman Sharpless to “October 2017–” and the third column to: “15th Director of the NCI. The Infobox should show Norman Sharpless as the Agency executive. References
