'We must work together to treat cancer with the same urgency that we tackled the pandemic—starting with a robust, sustained investment in cancer research through the National Cancer Institute (NCI)' say senators ChrisCoons and JerryMoran in Opinion.
While ideology and politics often divide Washington, D.C., Congress is steadfastly united in a common cause: curing cancer. As a Democrat from Delaware and a Republican from Kansas, both of our lives have been touched by this disease.
During our tenures in the Senate, we have worked for consistent increases to the National Institutes of Health’s funding and are pleased with the work Congress has done to prioritize that funding over the past six years. An NIH program that funds researchers and workers across Delaware, the state that one of us represents in the Senate, translates cutting-edge science into practical solutions for people with cancer.
And Kansas, the state that one of us represents in the Senate, is one of many that are home to universities and organizations conducting leading cancer research. Additional resources from the NCI would bolster those efforts, enabling renewed commitment on promising projects and a renewed hope for life-changing findings.
As NCI director Norman Sharpless recently told Congress, “You know this is one of the things that's keeping me up at night, frankly, is the idea that there’s this great investigator-initiated science in these pools of grants that we’re not able to get to.… There may be a cure for pancreatic cancer in there, right?” But without adequate funding, the NCI cannot support these growing numbers of scientists.

Drugstore rapid tests predict infectiousness; breakthrough risk serious in cancer patientsDrugstore rapid COVID-19 tests, less sensitive than gold-standard PCR tests, might yield a negative result in 15 minutes while failing to detect virus particles but those same particles might pose no risk of transmission in the very short term, according to a report posted on Thursday on medRxiv ahead of peer review. The researchers first performed these antigen tests on swab samples from 181 individuals with PCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infections. When viral loads were below the antigen tests' level of detection, the virus particles were often incapable of growing.
