Who is most responsible to evaluate and make recommendations for funding projects/approaches/inventions in early cancer detection with the highest potential to reduce cancer deaths and cost: Experts in particle detection, or Oncologists?

Because we have known for 68 years that early cancer detection can save 50% of deaths and the best medical imaging devices are based on particle detection, a significant improvement in early cancer detection, which means saving many lives, requires a breakthrough invention advancing the field of particle detection, increasing the efficiency in capturing good signals from radiation at the lowest cost per good signal captured.

A summary of the answer to the question above follows:

1. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE? (The following is an ordered list from the most responsible to the least responsible)
