Do you think cancers can be cured gradually if government spends 100B in research a year?

Cancers are actually worse than world wars in casualty. Or should US, Japan rent China to do this and get the result until they know how to do it alone?

The problem with the cancer cure is that we cant detect the single cancer cell yet. So our research money needs to go into ways to develope that technology first then second to treatment protocols and new meds which seem to be the only thing the American public wants to fund.
Reply:maybe if its used right....check out this research group ....they are looking for a cure......http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/
Reply:I think the biggest thing standing in the way of a cure for "cancer" is that "cancer" is not just one disease. Certain types and locations of cancer are already curable and preventable. Other types and locations are not.





I believe that as time goes on, researchers will discover that one person's breast cancer and another person's lung cancer have a lot more in common than the cancer found in the lungs or breast of a third person.





So, I think we will continue to make strides, that people will continue to do self-destructive things (like smoking) that bring cancer on, and while there will be more people cured there will still be some who won't be, no matter how much we spend.
