âOn this World Cancer Day, we extend love to those who have lost someone to this devastating disease, we cheer those who are beating the odds, and we stand with all those among us who are still battling each and every day to be cancer-free,â Tonko said. âOur extraordinary achievement in COVID vaccine development is an important reminder that investments in science and public health research can and do spread hope and save lives. We owe more than gratitude to the doctors and scientists who are researching new treatments and finding cures. We owe them our vocal support and our commitment that we will continue to invest in their powerful work. I applaud the local scientists and researchers who are working on making these remarkable new discoveries and are helping improve cancer treatments for patients here and around the world.
