Cancer Cures
Cancer is a worldwide health concern affecting people of all ages, races and ethnicities. Cancer causes pain and suffering to those we love and costs billions of dollars for treatment and care. Reducing barriers to cancer care is critical in the fight to eliminate suffering and death due to cancer. There are over 100 different types of cancer. Half of all men and one-third of all women in the US will develop cancer during their lifetimes. Today, millions of people are living with cancer or have had cancer.
