Why Cancer Research Is Important.

The number of deaths from cancer continues to increase each year. Cancer is a disease has touched every family at least once. It is a disease that can kill you in a matter of years or months. There are several different types of cancer, some of which both men and women can be diagnosed with and some of which only one sex can actually be diagnosed with. Today researchers are finding more and more advances into what causes cancer. I myself am a cancer survivor and my treatment at the time in 1992 was considered experimental. My older brother who is now 32 years old was diagnosed with Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, when he was 2 years old; he too was a part of a research study that he is still participating in today. Cancer research is very important in the fight against cancer. Just from me and my brother cancer experience I’m very confident that someone will live because of the research that took place during our treatments. Cancer Research is at the forefront of finding a cure for this deadly disease.
In 2007 1,444,920 people in the U.S were diagnosed with some form of cancer. 559,650 died from cancer the same year. 206.3 billion dollars were spent on health care related to cancer treatment in 2007. Over the years these numbers are drastically increased in the past three years. Research to discover earlier detection methods and treatments are important in helping save lives in the fight against cancer (www.cancer.gov, 2007).
