Investing in a cure for cancer [infographic]

Why isn’t there a cure for cancer? 

I write a lot about investing in this blog, but did you know that more than $100 billion is “invested” worldwide every year in the quest to cure cancer.

However, despite this exhaustive effort, the number of cancer cases is estimated to increase by 70% over the next two decades, and is expected to reach 25 million new cases per year by 2030.

The following infographic shows that although there have been huge advancements in the understanding of how cancers behave and the development of more effective treatments, there is still no single “cure” for cancer.

That said, there are some very promising advances in cancer treatment in progress.
