Really glad to see that President Biden's cancer is still hormone responsive but it's a sad reminder of the importance of research efforts to target this disease ๐. ~90% of men with advanced prostate cancer will develop bone mets, which causes skeletal complications and reduced survival.

8/9 Federal funds support long-term projects requiring sustained investment that private industries often overlook for short-term gains. Robust funding enables researchers to make discoveries that will ultimately end cancer. It empowers the US to remain the global leader in cancer research. ๐ฐโก๏ธ๐งช๐๐ฌ

7/9 Do you think federal funding is necessary for cancer research?
It is crucial for driving cancer research forward. Government programs like NCI provide essential resources for early-stage research, enabling discoveries of novel therapies, biology insights and development of prevention strategies.
