Raising Awareness of Lung Cancer’s Deadly Impact & Disproportionate Research Funding
The truth is, lung cancer kills more than these 3 deadly cancers combined.
Lung cancer: 131,880 deaths
- Breast cancer: 43,600 deaths
- Prostate cancer: 34,130 deaths
- Colorectal cancer: 52,980 deaths
However, federal funding for lung cancer research per related death in 2021 is expected to be just $3,116 compared to
- $15,977 for breast cancer
- $7,500 for prostate cancer
- $5,398 for colorectal cancer
