Decades of medical research that still has no real understanding of what cancer is and how to prevent or cure it.  Is it possible they are on the wrong track?  Is it possible that cancer is too profitable to cure?  I think it was Forbes who ran a major article noting that we really can't AFFORD to cure cancer because hundreds of billions of debt has been taken on building research centers and cancer treatment facilities.  We can't find a cure because banksters would be harmed.

As with politicians, don't listen to what they say.  Instead watch what they DO.  The majority of oncologists would not take chemotherapy if they themselves were diagnosed with cancer.  I wonder why?

We know exactly what cancer is: It's abnormal, usually rapid, cell growth with the potential to spread to other parts of the body. Because it concerns abnormal cells they are unable to fulfill their intended purpose and thus contribute to the failure of organs which eventually results in death. The difficulty with treating cancer is that cells are made by the patient's own body and therefor usually not recognized as a disease by the immune system like a virus would be.

On top of that, cancer the collective noun for a wide range of diseases, each unique in its own way and each requiring a specific treatment or cure. Some of these diseases we understand very well and are relatively easy to treat, others are essentially a death sentence.
