I agree the difference in funding shouldn't be as significant. One recent example that troubled me was when the Bobby Robson Foundation which exists to fund the research of all cancers ran an event and inexplicably gave 50% of the fundraising to breast cancer research. Quite frankly I would have preferred that an adult cancer did not get the lion's share of fundraising when cancers common in children did not get a similar weighting.
However, a lot of this has to do with how much noise is made about each cancer. Women make a lot of noise about breast cancer and get the funding accordingly. Similarly, there are now vaccinations for some female cancers; I like to think that's because it was possible and not because of skewed funding (i.e. other possibilities were lower down in the pile) but I'm not a scientist and I can't validate that.
Regardless, all of this debate will soon become mute when my parent's generation exhaust the NHS of all its resources!
