According to the National Cancer Institute's own budgetary figures - they spend on average $4,900,000,000 ($4.9 billion) per year on cancer research.

NCI?s budget for FY 2010 was $5.1* billion, excluding the additional $1.3* billion in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds received by the Institute for spending in FY 2009 and FY 2010. Overall, NCI?s budget has been relatively flat in recent years. During the period from 2005 through 2010, the NCI budget averaged $4.9* billion per year.
