Lung cancer: Increase research
November 14th, 2009
Consider these numbers:
- Research spending per breast cancer death: $23,754.
- Research spending per lung cancer death: $1,414.
Lung cancer will kill twice as many women as breast cancer this year.
In fact, 30 percent of all cancer deaths stem from lung cancer.
The Florida Department of Health reports that lung cancer takes more lives than breast, prostate, colon, liver, kidney and melanoma combined.
