Why Government & Big Pharma Can't Find the Real "Cure" for Cancer?

If there is a cure, will the government ever tell us?

They have found a cure...but because they can't put a patent on it...they will lose money if they bring it out.

Do some research on Graviola...

There is a cure for cancer that has been hidden for over 7 years by a large pharmacy company. It's a natural growing product that this company tried to copy in the lab...since it couldn't be copied...they were unable to patent a natural growing item...so they sealed the files and told no one. It did come out later when one of the researchers let out their secret. This herb only attacks cancer cells and does nothing to normal cells. If you don't believe me...look it up.....GRAVIOLA

There cant be a CURE. Cancer is very complicated. But basically its out of control cell growth. Cancer is caused by so many things its hard to predict. Even with genetic engineering.

Gee, maybe because its really hard. There are many different types of cancer requiring different treatments.

If you're suggesting that there's a conspiracy to hide a cancer
cure - no there isn't.

If there was:

*whoever discovered it would be keeping quiet, even though it would bring them fame and fortune

*every medical professional in the whole world would agree to keep the secret. Every single one. Is that likely?

*the thousands of people who would have to have been cured by it in order to prove it worked would be keeping quiet about it too

*doctors, scientist, researchers etc would be watching their relatives die and dying themselves (they and their families develop cancer at the same rate as the rest of the population) even though they knew of a cure

Some cancers are curable; for those that aren鈥檛 existing treatments - chemotherapy and radiotherapy - are not perfect, far from it, but we know, because they have been clinically tested and proven, that they save some lives and extend many others. Cancer treatments are improving all the time thanks to dedicated hard work by those professionals that some people suggest are concealing a cure.

Cancer develops in 4 stages, in 1st stage almost everyone is ignorant about cancer, in 2nd stage they feel and say some sort of swelling and it will be cured automatically, in 3rd stage people approaches doctor by the time it was too late for treatment, 4th is the final stage, no cure in this stage, if people consult doctor in 1st or in 2nd stage cancer can be kept under control but not cured and person survive for longer period. There is no cure but can be kept under control in first two stages.
Many scientists are still researching on this disease but so far no success.

Have no clue what you are talking about. There are over 200 different types of cancer and as many subtypes. To complicate things further each type of cancer occurs in various stages since it is a 'progressive disease'. Which means that if it is found in the early stages it is usually 'curable'. Further complicating the issue is that cancer is made up of an individuals DNA . . making a one 'cure' all treatment nearly impossible (they can't cure the common cold either because it is never the same virus causing the cold). However, you are wrong about the advances being made in cancer treatment. It is metastatic cancer of any kind which remains elusive to 'cure' . . and it is metastatic cancer that research has been focusing on. In the past ten years there have been new drugs which target the specific proteins found in each tumor type. Go back and read about the discovery of a drug called Imatinib mesylate and its effect on chronic myelogenous leukemia and gastrointestinal stromal tumor. The discovery of the effectiveness of Imatinib has spawned a whole new direction in cancer treatment . . . many of the newer drugs do not produce the dibilitating side effects of the older drugs.

So, the answer to your question is . . that yes if there is ever a cure for cancer . . there will be no holding back at all from government or from any company. Besides . . . almost all the current research that I am aware of is coming from the major universities like Harvard . . . pharmacy companies only manufacture the promising drugs . . . investigations occur at the university level.

The idea that the 'cure is being' hidden from us is considered one of the top ten 'myths' about cancer.

Top Ten Myths about Cancer

They have found cures for some types of cancers and they have made great progress on finding cures and/or therpies that prolong life in many other types of cancers. The human genome project was instrumental in allowing researchers better understand how to target therapy at different 'pathways' that stimulate cancer cells to grow. In the past 5 years, there has been a surge in discovery of new targeted therapies and some mhave even made it past FDA approval - look at Avastin, Sutent, Nexavar, Torisel, Gleevec. These new drugs have made a huge difference in the lives of many cancer patients!

Cancer is very complicated. There are so many different types of cancer. It is not a disease like diabetes where it is what it is. There are solid tumors and liquid tumors and different types of cancer cells - some are aggressive and others aren't. Each type behaved sifferently and therefore responds differently to different types of therapy.

Cancer is actually 200+ diseases under one umbrella. Finding a cure is going to take a long time and will take place one 'cancer type' at a time.

This is an american myth.
