Cancer is a killer. A very expensive killer. This year 12.7 million people will be told they have cancer. Their treatment will cost $20,000 per person although depending on the severity it can rack up to hundreds of thousands of dollars. $254 billion will be spent on their care. 1,500 of them will die today.
