I'm watching a baseball game, and they are talking about prostate cancer research. Every HR, and 14,000 gets donated to prostate cancer research. 400 million has been raised to date (by whom, I'm not sure).

Anyway, I was wondering where all this money goes, and all of the other money raised for different types of cancer. Why is it so expensive to do this research? Does anyone know what they are doing to try and cure it? Does each different type of cancer require a different cure?

Finally, how realistic is it that we will eventually see a cure for cancer in our lifetimes? Sorry, I have a lot of questions regarding this type of thing.
