We have donated and spent BILLIONS on finding cures for various cancers. What have we gotten for our $$ surgeries, chemo and radiation that can kill and does.

St. Jude’s Children’s hospital has had the most success in treating cancer than any other org.

We have machines that detect it earlier is all we’ve really gotten.

That’s not really true. Interferon has cured melanoma, Gleevec makes some leukemias chronic rather than deadly.
Look at Jimmy Carter recently. There have been advances...although they are the exception so far.

If it is ever cured it will be by a couple of oncooogists and immunologists who have finally unlocked how to activate T cells againstvall types of cancer and allow ghe immune system to destroy the malignant cells. It won’t be govt that does that. Anymore than govt developed polio vaccine
