The Cancer Industry

The Cancer Industry Problem: Money Over Results

Cancer remains the second-biggest cause of death in the United States despite billions of dollars spent annually on research, treatments, and medical infrastructure specifically focused on the disease. Treating the disease costs the US billions per year, though patients have little to show for rising expenses; actual survival rates lag well behind increased investment. The result? A cancer industrial complex where big business dominates and profits, not results, take center stage.
Is Cancer A Business?

In 2023, nearly 2 million Americans were diagnosed with cancer. More than 600,000 Americans died of cancer last year, a shocking tally smaller than only heart disease as the most prolific disease in the nation.

Those deaths occurred despite an incredible amount of cancer spending and investment. Today, there are more than 1,000 cancer treatment centers and programs in the US, not to mention the thousands of hospitals, public and private cancer research organizations, non-profits, pharmaceutical giants and start-ups spending billions each year to diagnose, treat, and ultimately cure cancer.
