Cancer research funding involves big money, with over $24 billion spent worldwide between 2016 and 2020. But most of that outlay did not go into primary treatment research in fields such as surgery, which got 1.4%, and radiotherapy, which received almost 3%. According to Queen's University Belfast and the University of Southampton, around 75% of the funding went into pre-clinical or medicinal research that does not involve patients. And although the pre-clinical research "has inherent value in improving the knowledge and understanding of cancer, there are usually lengthy delays translating this to patient benefit, with time lags of up to 17 years cited," the two university teams said. Published in the journal Lancet Oncology in June, "the first comprehensive global analysis of cancer research funding" assessed $24.5 billion of global investment from over 66,000 public and philanthropic awards.
