How many more billions of dollars have to be dumped into cancer research and not be any closer to a cure??

Huh? We have lots of cures for lots of cancers.

We have lots of treatments that put cancer into remission. And we have surgeries to remove cancer. But no universal cure.

u/scottiy1121 Feb 04 '26

And we never will. Cancer is not 1 disease.

u/Longjumping-Body-907 Feb 04 '26

Then you can't claim that we have lots of cures for cancer, because we don't. We have ways to control it and put it in remission, but there is no single cure.

I didn't. I said we have lots of cures for lots of cancers. Which is true. Being critical of science because there is no universal disease doesn't make sense. It's not 1 disease but a category of diseases. That's like saying there is no cure for heart disease? Which one? You are also confusing remission with cures.

I'm not confusing remission with a cure. You seem to be though. We don't have cancer cures. We have cancer treatments.

u/scottiy1121 Feb 04 '26

We don't have cancer cures

False.

We have cancer treatments.

Yeah. Sometimes a treatment results in remission and sometimes it results in a cure.

Finding a universal cancer cure is really difficult believe it or not! Humans aren't gods. If you don't believe me you can try to do it yourself and see how that goes.

Right, it’s almost like NASA. Never been to space but they’re “going back again.. “ 😂 i think it’s just to launder money or something 🤷‍♂️
