Why we have to keep working!
• Cancer kills more people in a year than Malaria, TB, and Aids COMBINED
• Today, cancer is the most curable disease facing Americans but it’s also the more rapidly growing disease. By 2018 caner WILL be the leading cause of death in the IF we do not provide adequate access to care!
• 60% of cancers are preventable with proper screening and testing
