Table 2 Burden and funding proportions. Presents several proportional burdens and research funding values and their ratios. For each cancer type, this table presents the proportions of overall mortalities, YLL and funding (2^nd, 3^rd, and 5^th columns, respectively) dedicated to research. The ratio of proportional YLL to proportional mortality (4^th column) indicates which cancers tend to kill younger victims. The ratio of proportional funding to proportional mortality and YLL (6^th and 7^th columns, respectively) indicates which cancers appear to be overfunded (values larger than 1.0) or underfunded (values smaller than 1.0) including data for lung cancer. The rightmost column (8^th column) recalculates the funding to YLL ratio after omitting lung cancer.
