Why Study Cancer?

It is important that we study cancer beacuse cancer is expected to kill about 560,000 people this year. Thats over 1500 people a day. If something is killing thousands of people a day it obviously need to stop it. But, we cant stop it if we dont know anything about it, so that is why we need to study it. Did you know that every one in two men and every one in three women will be diagnosed with cancer in there life time. That makes 1.4 million people expected to be diagnosed with cancer this year alone. If something is plagueing our society this much we are going to have to study or it will only get worse. Cancer is already widely studied beacuse people are trying to find a cure. Any day now some scientist could make an incredible discovery and cancer could be stoped by something simple like taking a pill or shot. We have already worked very hard to find a cure so why should we stop now? There is no reason why we should not study cancer, and we shall continue to study it until we have found a cure.
