Cure for cancer: No profit means no interest in it ?

I am somewhat surprised that a research scientest at the University of Alberta believes he will have problems with research money into a simple cancer treatment; because there is not profit in it, it is not a patenable drug.

January 16, 2007 - Edmonton - DCA is an odourless, colourless, inexpensive, relatively non-toxic, small molecule. And researchers at the University of Alberta believe it may soon be used as an effective treatment for many forms of cancer.

Dr. Evangelos Michelakis, professor U of A Department of Medicine, has shown that dichloroacetate (DCA) causes regression in several cancers, including lung, breast and brain tumors.

So do you think the fact that profits cannot be made in a cure, (prevention is the best of cures) renders much of the research money into expensive pharamceutical drugs and treatments that are not the best ?

Can anybody pls let me know if there is any organization, which helps financially.
His situation is more compounded by the fact that Matched Unrelated Donors transplants are not performed in India and he need to take him to US or Europe.

The estimated cost of treatment in USA is above USD $ 350K + $25K for the Bone Marrow.
The estimated cost of treatment in France (Robert Debre – Paris) is appx USD $200K for transplant + $25K for the Bone Marrow.
Over and above, there is additional cost for Travel, Stay for 4 months and Logistics etc.
All put together total estimated cost is around $300,000 USD.
Pls respond if you know any such organization.

I have probably 10 lumps/cysts under my skin. the biggest on my right leg about half way down my quad is about the size of a quarter, and it feels as if it is split, or has a ridge down in , and that one will get bigger when I work out. The others are about the size of dimes or nickels. 2 are on my leg, 2 on my back, one on my ribs, one on the lower part of my stomach., 1 on my right side...

They all are semi hard and they move a litle. the one on my back(on my ribs) kind of hurts if you push on it...

I am a big guy at 6"4' 280lbs, I am a built guy and i lift a lot, my body fat is around 24%, and I play football, but

What are these?

I had the one on my leg checked and he said it was some sort of cyst?

But does anyone know what these are?

like having meal together or use the bowl, cups, folks that patients used. i read some articles said cancer is noncontagious, even they exact the cancer cell from the patient and implant into normal body, the cancer cells couldn't survive. But, i don't really know if oral cancer is also nonctagious.

My granny is 88 and has breast cancer, one breast was removed when she was 65. She still takes a lot of cancer and other medications. She has one kidney, heart and breathing problems. She needs a wheel chair and oxygen and is in a nursing home. Two times water between her lungs were removed. Now she has water between her lungs again. She told me that she cannot do a surgery again because that would damage her lungs. She takes medication to remove the water, but it does not help 100%.

She does not have any pain, why? She is a lucky cancer victim. I heard that some cancer patients suffer bad pain and some need Morphine everyday. My granny seems to be fresh and healthy when I see her. It seems that she lives forever and never dies. But sometimes she suddenly has breathing and speaking problems. She is a hospice patient but does not look like a person who is going to die. Could she suddenly die because of her lug problems, although she looks good? I want to look online about this lung illness. Does anybody know the name of this illness? Does anybody have friends or family members with this illness?
