The estimated total cost of cancer care in 2010 was $124.57 billion, the largest portion of which went

towards breast cancer treatment. The National Cancer Institute predicts that expenditures will rise to

$157.77 billion by 2020. Additional funding for research of more effective, cheaper treatments could

reduce this figure significantly. Help end the fight by signing the petition to increase federal funding for

cancer research at http://www.acscan.org/research.
