Artists Supporting a Cure for Cancer Now wants to bring focus to the cancers that may only affect one-in-a-million each year – yet combined account for 35% of the cancer deaths annually! Let me say that again – the ‘orphan’ cancers combined account for more than 1/3 of all cancer deaths each year.
A drug company will spend millions on research, and tens of millions on marketing a drug for erectile dysfunction because they can make a huge profit. They will spend nothing on curing a rare cancer because there is no profit margin.
Do you know how many people died last year of erectile dysfunction? ZERO!
ASCC Now believes all people diagnosed with cancer have the right to have hope! We believe that through raising awareness and funding for research for rare cancers we can make a difference!
