Prevention only 2% of Budget

Cancer Analysis Reveals Areas of Underfunding in UK

LONDON (Reuters) - Research into some of the biggest cancer killers in Britain is underfunded and only a fraction of the estimated 335 million (US $517 million) spent each year is on prevention, according to new study findings.

The first detailed analysis of cancer research spending by the UK government and charities shows that 41% of the money covers studies into the causes of the disease, but only 2% is devoted to prevention.
