Cancer is a group of diseases
characterized by the uncontrolled growth of
abnormal cells. Without treatment this can
result in death.

the world and the U.S.
●7.6 million died in the world in 2008
●12.7 were diagnosed in 2008
●571,950 died in 2011 in the U.S.
●That's about 1,500 per day in the U.S.
●24,900 deaths from Ohio
● 1.6 million were diagnosed in the U.S.
●65,060 diagnosed in Ohio

4. Tobacco use
● Smoking accounts for 30% of cancer deaths and
80% of lung cancer deaths
● Lung cancer is 23 times likely in male and13 times
likely in female smokers than non-smokers
● Smoking causes 18 different types of cancer

people in the United States?

This is just 1 billion dollars multiply this by 263.8
and you will know what 263.8 billion dollars looks

7. Lack of insurance = Lack of optimal
health care
● About 51 million Americans didn't have
heath care in 2009.
● Nearly one - third of Hispanics and 1 in
10 children seventeen and under had no
health insurance.
● This causes late diagnosis and leads to
more extensive and expensive
treatment

money to help cure cancer:
