Big Cancer

A multi-billion dollar business. Projections for 2030 are expected to exceed 245 Billion dollars PER YEAR in the fight against cancer. Individuals currently spend an average of over 100,000 per year on their treatment. There are currently 260 non-profit Cancer organizations in the United States alone. The business of cancer is booming for the usual multi-national players that have their fingers in every pie. Let's pull back the curtain on the interlocking directorate, how the industry fights the symptoms but promotes and provides the carcinogens, and finally the treatments and even possible cures that may have been silenced in the name of the almighty dollar.To put cancer into perspective, it is the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for 1 in 6 deaths. The most common cancers are breath, lung, colon, rectum, and prostate. 1/3 of the deaths are from tobacco use, high body index, alcohol consumption, low fruit and veggie intake, and lack of physical activity. Cancer causing infections such as HPV and hepatitis are responsible for 30% of cancers. New cases in 2023, 1,958,310 with 609,820 deaths in the United States alone. IN 2022, there were an estimated 20 million new cancer cases and 97 million deaths worldwide. Cancer is a generic term for a large group of diseases that can affect any part of the body. Other terms used are malignant tumours and neoplasms. One defining feature of cancer is the rapid creation of abnormal cells that grow beyond their usual boundaries, and which can then invade adjoining parts of the body and spread to other organs; the latter process is referred to as metastasis. Widespread metastases are the primary cause of death from cancer.
