Billions are invested in cancer research, but is it money well spent?
In 2020, 19 million people around the world received a cancer diagnosis.
By 2040, that number is expected to reach 28 million.
Poorer countries will be especially hard hit, with an increasing number of cases and more deaths, compared with richer countries.
Cancer research is vital to helping ease this global burden, but where and how research money is spent doesn’t always match with where and how help is needed.
