Just my two cents:
The professionals do not want to find a cure because “searching” for one is so profitable. Imagine if a cure was found? What would all those people employed in research do next? Common sense would say move to the next disease. Every once in a great while they will throw a bone to the masses with “we’ve made great progress” while producing nothing.
Sounds like the government is too involved.
That's just plain idiotic
Everybody will die of cancer or know someone who will.
So for what you are saying to be true, researchers would have to be hiding a cure even though they and/or their loved ones will suffer and die from it.
Genetically controlled mechanisms cause tumors to start and spread; cancer drugs that target these mechanisms can deliver individual tumors a knockout blow. That’s where we’ve made the most progress.
There are over 200 different types of cells in the human body. There are three main types of skin cancer. There are four main types of lung cancer. I could go on. The name cancer s very misleading because you'r talking about hundreds of different diseases at a minimum.
There will never be a "pill" to cure cancer since cancer comes in hundreds if not thousands of forms, each one requiring a specific treatment. Some successful, some not.....
The biggest obstacle to cancer R&D is the govt's control over all research and when the pharmaceuticals are allowed to begin treatment on humans........
Remember the Thalidomide babies of the 50's and 60's?
