Dr. LaSalle Leffall of Howard University in Washington said that less funding means decline in the basic research and clinical trials.

"We have become complacent about this fearsome disease and have lacked the will to change aspects of our cancer-fighting enterprise that are preventing significant and rapid reductions in cancer illness and death," Leffall said in a statement.
