UK cancer spending doesn't correlate with deaths
Cancer spending in the United Kingdom doesn't correlate with deaths, according to data released by the National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI). Even though lung cancer causes the majority of cancer-related deaths at 22 percent, breast cancer research recieves the most money, though it accounts for 7 percent. The various reasons behind the disparity are covered in one of Statista's recent Independent features.
