An oncologist from a New York hospital revealed that only one out of the 10 promising cancer research proposals gets funded because of the present economic problems and still continuing Iraq war. This results to doctors getting frustrated at the point when they have the energy and the drive to continue some of their best ideas. Besides they were very concerned on the difference these pending research proposals may do to more than 10 million Americans currently living with cancer. I guess it is the option now of the government which benefit best their people. War or cure?
