50 years ago, surviving cancer was a rarity. Federally funded research changed that for millions of Americans. But progress is now at risk. Unstable funding threatens to halt future breakthroughs #SaveResearchStopCancer #ASCOAdvocacy

This needs to be amplified. The unfortunate increase in cancers in young individuals, especially for colorectal cancer, has created a public narrative that cancer rates are increasing
The data are clear. Cancer mortality rates have been decreasing. And this is, undoubtedly, because of cancer research that results in new treatments. Medical research saves lives.

It’s a travesty, but how do we respond? Is this a scenario where we argue there’s an individual need for each of these cancers or can we speak with one voice that cancer research is critical? In my view there’s a “divide & conquer” approach here.
#kidneycancer #LungCancer #pancreaticcancer & #Glioblastoma = all defunded within CDMRP this year by Pete Hegseth, Sen. McConnell & Rep. Calvert. Cancer is supposed to be nonpartisan. 591,000+ Americans are expected to be diagnosed w/ 1 of these this year. What will we tell them? #oncsky #medsky

Katie provides the moral imperative far more eloquently than I can. For those who require an economic argument, the US research enterprise is the most robust in the world creating $100B in wealth. It is one of our most successful exports.

If you have ever celebrated me and my fight against the odds, I need you to also support science in this moment.
This isn't about politics, it crosses party lines.

With this logic pts who are heavy smokers should be labeled as “group 1 lung cancer” because of their high risk for clinically significant lung cancer.
Another argument against removing “cancer” label for Pattern 3 easily prostate cancer refuted by replacing “pattern 3” with “benign”: men with pattern 3 / biopsy and PSA > 20 are at increased risk of mortality therefore call pattern 3 / benign “cancer” euoncology.europeanurology.com/article/S258...
