Some of the deadliest cancers aren’t receiving enough funding
Many of the deadliest cancers are receiving the least amount of researching funding, according to Medical Xpress.
Researchers from Northwestern University studied the tax records from 119 nonprofit organizations between October 2017 and February 2018.
Colon, liver, cervical, ovarian, pancreatic and lung cancers got the least amount of funding. These are some of the most common and deadliest forms of cancer.
The cancers that received the most amount of funding were breast cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, and pediatric cancers.
The study is the first to compare nonprofit funding distribution in the United States across cancer type in The Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network .
