• The incidence of cancer is increasing*
• 1 in every 3 American women and 1 in every 2 American men will be diagnosed with cancer* ...
• About 1,372,910 cancer cases will be diagnosed in 2005*
• Cancer is the 2nd leading cause of death among Americans, exceeded only by heart disease*

Cancer can be emotionally devastating to the victim and their family. There are also other factors...

Cancer can be a very costly disease. Even people who do have medical insurance to help shoulder the expensive procedures and drugs that help fight cancer often overlook the indirect costs that are associated with Cancer.

The American Cancer Society estimates that the overall costs for cancer are $189.8 billion per year. However, hospital and medical costs represent only 37% of the total costs for the treatment of cancer*. Therefore, 63% of cancer related costs ($120.4 billion) are non-medical and not covered by major medical or hospital insurance policies - expenses like:

• Loss of income
• Child-care expenses
• Out-of-town treatment
• Special diets, clothes, prosthesis

It's a fact - If all Americans participated in regular cancer screenings, the survival rate for screenable cancers could increase 10%, raising the survival rate to 95%*. However, the sad truth is that many Americans cannot afford to bear the expense of the sometimes costly screenings that could save so many lives.

The risks are high. The costs are high.
