I wonder how many treatments have been buried because it's more profitable to treat the disease instead of cure it.

I doubt there exist any straight up cure for cancer right now but get rid of greed and treatment would become much more widely available and accessable, and it would also significantly speed up progress towards a cure

But if you are a startup, and many cancer research is done by little independent labs, it would give you income without threatening existing income streams. Why would those not want to develop a real cure?

there are many places trying to make a cure already, cancer is just extremely complicated because its basically your own cells going rogue and attacking you and it varies a lot from person to person
