The US Spends $200 Billion Each Year on Cancer Care – We Might Not Be Getting Our Money's Worth
SciTechDaily.com ^ | 18 July 2022 | Yale University

The high cost of cancer treatment in the US does not lower fatality rates...According to a recent study by researchers at Yale University and Vassar College, the United States spends twice as much on cancer treatment as typical high-income countries, yet its cancer death rates are only marginally better than average.

Expensive bad outcomes

Vance treatment is expensive

US companies do the research. Other countries do not. That is the underlying expense

All y’all are insane

Cancer treatment has come a long way in the last fifty years. You can be conspiracy theorists all you want. Cancer is tough to treat. Tougher to cure

It is totally crazy to expect success after one hundred years of research and billions and billions of dollars.

Lunatic I am for sure!

Every problem is tough unless you have three key things:

—People with the resources to solve it
—People with the intelligence to solve it

and, the most important one:

—People determined to solve it quickly.

One hundred years is not quickly, btw.

There is no cure for the common cold

Been with us forever

Cancer is not a single disease. It is malfunction in many different organs.

Care costs? Why do you need costly ‘care’ if there’s a real cure?

Ever do a probe on the internet about charities and the salaries and perks of its officers? Or how much rubber meets the road with respect to donated money received applied to REAL research and results instead of salaries, perks and more fund raising expenditures?

We just differ and I’ll let it go at that.

Glad you beat it so far... I have 4 close friends that were diagnosed with cancer. One pancreatic, one thyroid, one brain and one breast. Only one, the one with brain cancer was being treated with chemotherapy but it wasn’t working. All 4 tried fenbendazole and their cancer went away to the amazement of their doctors. Of course it’s antidotal, but in my circle it’s 4 for 4. With no side effects...

“Antidotal”, acting as an antidote, is a real stretch to fit in that sentence.

Cancer and heart disease are the AMA’s two biggest cash cows. They will never give them up.

Yep. The Trifecta of Allopathy. BTW it is actually illegal to cure cancer in many States.

I appreciate you letting it go, but, to answer your question-

Care costs might include the diagnosis, the treatment, follow up, care of any side effects, the cost of producing and delivering any medications. Equipment and skilled care for delivery. A pill in a bottle is less care than say a weird treatment with specialized equipment over time.

A 1994 study proved that chemo doesn’t work, for 97% of the cases.

I realize that’s been a while...but, I doubt the % has changed, drastically.

Here’s a good vid, that was recently sent to me, explaining much, from several years ago.....

You are likely spot on.

I don’t get why anyone would claim you’re a lunatic, for making this statement.
