Doctors and Researchers are yet in the process to find a proper cure for this terrible disease and the developments done so far clearly depicted that yes, we are winning the war on cancer (DeVita and Steven 2213). Cancer is basically the result of deformation of human body cells. The structural DNA of the body is disturbed through this mechanism. Various awareness campaigns started around the globe so that people would get conscious of this severe illness and make precautionary measures. In the year 1971, U.S President Nixon announced war against cancer. The purpose of this statement was to awake acknowledge people that not to lose hope and be self determined. After President’s statement, medical world researched a lot to cure cancer. Interesting research findings came out which were commendable.

The procedure of eliminating cancer from the body is long and disturbing. A person with a strong nerves and soul can face this curing process actively. In order to declare it a common problem of the human beings of the world, a national caner act in the year 1971 came out from USA. The purpose of this act was to assure that this is a common problem which world is facing, and by joining hands we can sort out this matter. Public health service was the main agenda of the U.S Government as casualties due to this disease were increasing every day (Thomas and Frieden 1307). The act strengthened the roots of National Cancer Institute, which was in a continuous process of development and research to heal cancer. A huge amount of funding was also supplied to the institute so that there would be no problem in the research and no area would be left. The Institute carried out different research work to make sure that they find the right medicine for this disease (Varmus 475). In the recent years, it was observed that people have lost focus on cancer. To get aware about this severe disease, a new motivational campaign started in 2008 by the U.S government so that people would be concerned about it. “Cancer: Challenges and Opportunities in the 21st Century”- a series of debate started by the U.S Senate Committee of Health. The agenda was to let people know about the survivors of this disease. Interviews of recoveries, mostly people with fame were showed. Lance Armstrong, a famous cyclist had cancer and how he defeated cancer with courage and bravery was shown (Jones &amp. Scott 190) Progress &amp. Development (Whelan 9) Throughout the years, there has been a massive progress in defeating cancer. Many motivated and brave individuals have showed courage and power to overcome this disease. The point to be noted is that since 1950 till 2005, only 5 percent reduction in cancer annual death rate was seen. Although government funded the cancer program a lot and on ground commendable results were observed. As many new types of cancer invasion in the human body were previously incurable but now most of the cancers are curable.
