Candidates For President Speak Up On Cancer

DateJan 4, 2008

In 1971, President Nixon declared war on cancer. 

This past August, presidential candidates were invited by the LiveStrong Foundation in an effort to bring cancer and its future to the forefront of American politics.  Candidates from both parties spoke out on the issue and shared how their administrations would combat the disease--the leading killer of Americans under age 85.
