Thread Name: Cancer and Capitalism
Subject: RE: Cancer and Capitalism
I have long been disappointed in the medical community which has failed to come up with an answer to this disease despite decades of aggressive fund raising.

From above. A common mis-understanding...

Cancer is not one disease. It is a group of hundreds of different tumours, which grow at different rates, attack different organs, and respond to different things in the body, such as various hormones. It's why survival rates for some are so different to others.

And we will find the brave patients willing to act as test subjects for this. They're the people with no real chance of any other treatment being successful, so have nothing to lose, and much to gain.
