Yeah, I'm cynical. But the average cancer patient is worth $400,000. Cancer foundations raise millions and millions of dollars, with very little actually going to research. A cure for cancer today would end the gravy train for a lot of folks.
you do realize that "cancer" is a very broad terminology right? hell even saying "breast cancer" is a huge scope. We are now in a new phase of health care where we have specific treatments for specific types of cancers. To say there is a conspiracy to make people keep paying for more treatments instead of curing is indeed a cynical mindset and a naive one.
