Why is it when someone has terminal cancer they have all the drugs in the world to make dying easier on you, but they can't get drugs that will actually make you better?
I personally believe the pharmaceutical companies making the current drugs available for treatment, are making far to much money to release any cure for cancer. Also the money from charity is some way probably goes towards the costs of these medicines for cancer patients.
Take a skin cell for example humans loose 30,000 to 40,000 skin cells every minute. a cancerous cell, for some reasons unknown transforms and does not take on the past cellular memory (which is knowledge from prior cell, in which it has derived from) in short a cancer cell does not die, like a normal functional cell will. And through this it multiplies and can cause anything from cancer of skin. or if internal cell a tumor.
I believe all top pharmaceutical companies do know the answers and have the remedy. In 1950 first head transplant was successful, though be it monkey. Also cut it short again who knows what technology is suppressed for what ever reason.

you can ask the same question on Alzheimer's, and the simple answer is that illegal drugs can cure both! yes! that's right, the cure is just a pill/smoke away from us.

"...have all the drugs in the world to make dying easier?" No 'they' don't. They simply use pain medicine, generally morphine, big deal. If I were dying I wouldn't want to be without it, but it certainly isn't "all the drugs in the world." As far as a cure, refer to the above poster "pblcbox", he's got the answer.

Dr Max Gerson said 50 years ago that there is no money to be made in finding a cure for cancer, only looking for a cure. Cancer cannot be cured by a drug or a chemical, it's impossible. They will never find a cure. I have written an article titled "Why can't Medical Science find a Cure for Cancer" and posted it in articles on my web site. Go to www.cancerhealed.com to read the article. I have also written a book on cancer called "Cancer, its Causes and its Cure."

they cant 'cure' cancer yet because they arent sure what exact causes trigger cancer. thats why they blame smoking, hairspray, asbestos etc. if they knew, there would be a cure. actually its the body's immune system that fights off the cancer cells. everyone has cancer at times but our bodies fight the cells off. when the body stops fighting it off thats when your diagnosed as 'having cancer' search the web and you'll see its true.

Ah, if only "cancer" was a single disease....
Sadly, what we generically lump into the category of "cancer" is a whole variety of different illnesses, with differing symptoms, various rates of transmission within the body, and many different risks of metastasizing (where the original cancer migrates through the body, creating new tumors).
Some cancer types seem to be caused by outside factors (smoking with lung cancer, for example), while others are genetic (perhaps prostate cancer, or osteosarcoma (bone cancer). In each instance, treatments that may work on one type of cancer (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation) may not work on another.
For example, when caught early, skin cancer can be treated by simply excising the tumor (surgery), but the same is not true for bone cancer, where radiation or chemotherapy may be required.
Each and every part of the human body can be effected by cancer - it **is**, after all, just uncontrolled growth of cells in the body. From our bones to our organs to our lymph nodes (Lukemia and Hodgkin's Lymphoma), we're susceptible to uncontrolled cellular growth anywhere we've got cells.
That's the reason why cancer hasn't been cured yet - there are too many types, with different treatments, for a single cure-all to be 100% effective.
...but give the folks working on genetic therapies some time, as I have a hunch that'll be the avenue that works.

The problem with finding a cure is that cancer is not a single disease, it's an umbrella term for over 200 different diseases. The difficulty with finding a cure is that different cancers are caused by different things, so no one strategy can prevent them They all respond to different treatments so no one treatment can cure them, so there isn't a magic bullet that cures all cancers and there never will be.
But quite a few cancers CAN already be cured: seven out of ten children are cured of cancer; testicular cancer, Hodgkin's disease, and many cases of leukaemia can all be cured in adults with chemotherapy, most skin cancers are cured with surgery and many cases of thyroid cancer and cancer of the larynx (voice box) are cured with radiotherapy.
Many other types of cancer are also cured if they are found early enough - three quarters (75%) of breast cancers found at stage one for example.
Yes there’s still a long way to go, but there is much dedicated hard work going on to find treatments and cures.
Your question is already attracting suggestions that there’s an existing cure that’s being kept hidden to maximise profits. This cancer cure conspiracy theory is a sort of game played by people who've never had or been close to cancer.
If there were a 'secret cure'...
In order to prove that any secret, hidden cure worked, or for anyone to know they were ‘getting close’ to a cure, several hundred people would have to have been cured by it (otherwise how would its discoverers know it worked?). Every single one of these people would have to be keeping quiet about it– not a word to the media from any of them, or any of their delighted relatives and friends.
Any drug company discovering a cure would make far more money than they can have dreamed of making up till now – fame and fortune beyond their wildest dreams..
Doctors, scientists, researchers etc would be watching their relatives die and dying themselves (they and their families develop cancer at the same rate as the rest of the population) rather than revealing any existing secret cure
Most unlikely of all, if there were a secret cure, every medical professional in the whole world would have agreed to keep existence of a cure secret. Every single one. One blabbermouth, one disgruntled researcher or sacked nurse and the whole conspiracy’s blown. Newspapers and other media wouldn't have got a sniff of it. Likely? -and is it likely that these people, who went into medicine to help people, would be conspiring to kill them? If they wanted to make a fortune, medicine was a very poor choice of career.
