Cancer survivors, patients, caregivers and physicians gathered in Los Angeles this month for a Cycle for Survival event to raise money for research on rare cancers. By Laurie McGinley Laurie McGinley Reporter covering health and medicine Email Bio Follow March 11 at 5:04 PM The Trump administration’s budget proposes a $50 million increase for pediatric cancer research for the next fiscal year, while cutting overall funding for the National Cancer Institute by almost $900 million.
“The additional $50 million dedicated to childhood cancer research, while welcome, will not be as effective as possible if overall research funding is significantly reduced,” said Lisa Lacasse, president of the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network. “Childhood cancer research is intertwined with all of cancer research. and cuts to NIH [the National Institutes of Health] and NCI funding will consequently have deleterious effects on such research regardless of age.
Despite the budget proposal, cancer funding could rise because of strong support on Capitol Hill. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said after Trump’s State of the Union speech that $500 million over a decade for childhood cancer wasn’t enough.
FAKE NEWS!
Because what we need right now is less cancer research. FFS.
no cuts to cancer research. Pediatric research is needed. Stop lying to the people.
Because they know there is already a cure for cancer that has been suppressed by Big pharma. Truth is coming out...
Increase cancer & pediatric funding, slash trump's wall. And, karma to trump!
How is that good? Why can’t there be a pool of dollars allocated for various researches and then equally distributed? Equity creates imbalance.
Let’s report how dems colluded with Russia Ukraine England and China to alter our elections with help from some republicans in order to steal the election and make sure Trump didn’t win. Then they lost and framed Trump for all the things THEY did. There’s no collusion. Its a coup
I’m sure Cult45 will even have a problem with this, I hope anyway. Then again they may think Trumps touch will cure them.
Or or or, crazy idea, we don’t get involve in decades-long military conflicts that don’t benefit us and have plenty of money for funding all sorts of research.
Shall we just let babies and children run the world? That seems to be where we're going. Who needs parents, amiright?
They do more and better research on cancer
As if he cares. A wall and bombs that’s all he needs.
Only babies deserve a right to life.
So people suffering from cancer are paying for the wall that Mexico was suppose to pay for
Vicious
is this to build the wall? LOL
The only people that pass corrupt policies white Christians
