Why does the US spend massive and massive about of money on cancer research compared to Japan, South Korea, Singapore, China and Taiwan?

Not until the funding for research is stopped, then the cure will be found. That way, the costs for the cure product can be used instead of the stealing of wealth for research.

BS

I've actually heard doctors say that they don't want a cure. It ain't BS.

I worked as a contractor for the FDA up in Maryland. I asked a "scientist" about his research on peanuts. He said as long as the government continues to pay his salary, he will continue to do research on the "Legume".

SO? and then he told you that he hopes nobody (excuse the silly phrase) "finds a
cure for cancer"?

You telling me, that for all this time, these "researchers" cant figure it out?

Cancer is an ancient disease that has existed since before the evolution of humans1. It was first documented in Egypt about 5,000 years ago1. However, cancer research as a scientific endeavor has been conducted for about 250 years2. The Society’s research program, which has contributed to many major cancer research breakthroughs, began almost 70 years ago3.

Question is, did you? How much more money has to been spent on "research" before a final solution is found?

I wonder when you all parents are going to walk in your room and give you all a big spanking for posting trash on the internet and making you all sound like little 8 old chilled. Hank I know 16 olds that can talk better than this.

This thread on page two is just beyond pathetic of how kids can destroy a internet forum.

With my older age I normally don’t have time for this crap.

We have a much larger economy than the countries mentioned... and healthcare expenditures reflect that... The U.S. spends more on healthcare overall which allows for larger investments in medical research including cancer.... heart disease and childhood cancers...

If you look at this https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanonc/article/PIIS1470-2045(23)00182-1/fulltext

Well than China is 4%, Japan is 4%, UK is 9%, USA is whopping 57%


So not sure why the US is so high compared to other countries and why those countries are so low.

According to this, the US accounts for more than half of recent cancer funding, with China and Japan just under 5%

Global Funding for Cancer Research: 2016–2020

In a study reported in The Lancet Oncology, McIntosh et al identified components of global funding for cancer research—both public and philanthropic—between 2016 and 2020.

That is so odd I wonder if the reason the US spends so much more money on cancer research is because the lobbyist is so much more massive in the US the pharmaceutical companies and universities are so massive in the US and are lobbying the government to spend money on cancer research.

Where those other countries only have a handful of pharmaceutical companies and universities unlike the US that has hundreds of pharmaceutical companies and universities.

But again some one could ask why those countries have only handful of pharmaceutical companies and universities?

With that amount of spending, you wonder why there isn't a cure for cancer.

True. But as a citizen I am very very critical of this nation as cancer rates frankly are way too high for the richest and wealthiest nation on earth. Something is wrong here. Perhaps diet. Perhaps industry emitting carcinogenic chemicals into the environment. But when one is critical of industry one gets backlash from backwards thinkers.
