Lots of the money goes into early detection/screening as well.
Here is an example of a drug that decreases the mortality rate of breast Cancer.
Tamoxifen - It is usually given for 5 years post treatment of breast cancer.
Tamoxifen is currently used for the treatment of both early and advanced ER+ (estrogen receptor positive) breast cancer in pre- and post-menopausal women.[3] Additionally, it is the most common hormone treatment for male breast cancer.[4] It is also approved by the FDA for the prevention of breast cancer in women at high risk of developing the disease.[5] It has been further approved for the reduction of contralateral (in the opposite breast) cancer.
