Getting Closer to Controlling Cancer Requires Funding More Laboratories and Commitment Beyond Two Years of New Stimulus, Weiner and Berg Assert in Denver Post Oped

The authors say that the word "cancer" is misunderstood -- it encompasses more than 200 diseases according to Dr. Margaret Foti, AACR's CEO, interviewed by Weiner and Berg. Dr. Foti says that "institutions all over the country are having emergency meetings" on how to apply for a share of the stimulus money and "maximize the opportunity" this moment creates. Breakthroughs for one will pay off for others. For example, she says that researchers are poised "to extrapolate breast and ovarian cancer findings to other cancers." Dr. Foti asserts that funds are needed to "keep the lab research engine going, ensure new drugs to get into the clinical-trials pipeline, and support the development of molecular therapies."
Weiner and Berg argue, "There is no substitute for the Federal research catalyst." They point to data compiled by Mark Hurlbert, the Avon Foundation's senior adviser for grants and partnerships, who has noted that for breast cancer alone, $600 million annually has come from NCI before the Stimulus and the Department of Defense has provided $2.2 billion total since 1992, versus $900 from Komen million since 1988, Avon $520 million since 1992, and Revlon $110 million since 1992.
The authors conclude, "President Obama has declared April 'Cancer Control Month.' With the proper mix of funding for institutions large and small and with a commitment to multi-year research, we will be closer to controlling cancer."
