Global Focus Urged For Cancer Cure

Latest Updates  Livestrong advanced the fight against cancer at the World Cancer Congress, which was organized by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) and attended by 3,000 participants from 92 countries, in Shenzhen, China, August 18-21. Livestrong served as a co-sponsor of the Congress along with the American Cancer Society, the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the World Health Organization (WHO).

At a special press conference, “Pain-Free Cancer – It’s Every Patient’s Right,” Livestrong president and CEO Doug Ulman said, “Cancer patients around the world are being subjected to unnecessary levels of pain and that is a moral and ethical failure. By establishing internationally recognized standards for pain management and palliative care, we can balance the medical, legal, bioethical and human rights of cancer patients. We call for collaboration with policymakers that is critical to reducing the suffering caused by cancer.”

During the press conference, Ulman made a $100,000 commitment towards Livestrong’s work leading up to the U.N. General Assembly special session on non-communicable diseases in September 2011. Non-communicable diseases account for 60 percent of the world’s deaths, yet according to the Center for Global Development they receive less than 1 percent of the public and private funding for health.

During the Congress, Livestrong and the American Cancer Society released the joint report, “Global Economic Cost of Cancer.” This first-of-its-kind study on the economic cost of all causes of death globally, including cancer and other non-communicable diseases and communicable diseases, shows that cancer has the most devastating economic impact of any cause of death in the world, costing the global economy nearly a trillion dollars a year. The data from this study provides compelling new scientific evidence that balancing the world’s global health agenda to address cancer will not only save millions of lives, but also billions of dollars.

“These findings are more important than ever in light of the fact that, this year, cancer is projected to become the leading cause of death worldwide, followed by heart disease and stroke,” Ulman said at a special event about the report attended by 500 guests. “Now is the time for all of us to drive towards a global focus and not be timid in pushing for resources.”

President Obama : Court Suspends Federally Funded Embryonic Stem Cell Research

Embryonic Stem Cell

Embryonic Stem Cell

The temporary injunction, approved by U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth, takes effect as two Christian doctors, who work exclusively with adult stem cells, ask a court to rule that the government’s funding for research involving embryonic stem cells is against the law.
At the heart of the legal battle is a law known as the Dickey-Wicker Amendment, which prohibits federally funded research in which a human embryo is “destroyed, discarded, or knowingly subject to risk of injury or death greater than that allowed under applicable regulations.”
The measure has been attached to every appropriations bill for the Department of Health and Human Services since 1996. The department oversees the federal government’s primary health research arm, the National Institutes of Health.
