I only say this because if you followed the ongoing science thread there has been 3 major stories this year on breakthroughs which will lead to a vaccine like treatment for some cancers and hope for much more than that down the road.

In face this years top medical stories on major science websites probably have a host of cancer stories.

I spend most of my free time reading science journals, websites and follow this stuff for fun, so when you suggest they are hiding the truth from us I find it utterly without basis.

If all medical research was funded by private pharmaceuticals you could possible have a leg to stand on, but a vast amount of medical research is done at universities around the world and many state funded medical institutions which are typically the ones we see releasing the latest and best ways to fight cancer.

Zero results is an intriguing comment, for most cancer's now you can not only survive them but come out and live a long life, the death rates for cancers of all kinds is way down and its only improving.

Cancer is a very difficult egg to crack, its not simply one disease and like HIV its a tough SOB to fight, but we'll have both those eggs cracked in our lifetimes.
I hope your right, I just don't see it. 7.6 Million people die every year of cancer, that is still a lot of people. It isn't that I don't want them to cure it, I hate it and it has taken much from me. I just have zero faith in what us as a general public will have access to.
