There will never be a cure for cancer, just effective treatments that will combat the tumors.

Cancer does not have one single cause, therefore not one single cure. Essentially cancer is caused by a mutuation in a cell's DNA which will cause the cell to grow uncontrollably ultimately into a tumor. Different things will cause mutations such as exposure to radiation or chemicals. Skin cancer is caused by exposure to the UVA & UVB radition from the sun.

The best cure for cancer is prevention (using sunscreen, eating a healthy diet, not smoking, etc.). Early detection of cancers greatly enhances the chances for survival.

People need to understand the correlation between lifestyles and cancer risk. AND, I'm not saying that all cancers are related to lifestyles, i.e, children's cancers, etc.

The most promising treatment for cancer that is being researched is developing a way to cut off a tumor's blood supply. Tumors are heavily depended upon blood for the nutrition to keep growning. When the nutrition is cut off, then the tumor will starve and die.

All cancers are different. There is not just *one type* of cancer cell which needs to be treated. There are hundreds. Hence why some cancers are pretty curable and others are not.

Also cancer cells function much like the cells from your body. A cancer cell is made by your body. It is one of your own cells which mutates and begins to replicate out of control. Now scientists know darn well how to kill cells. The trick is figuring out how to kill the cancer cells WITHOUT also killing your good cells since the two are so similar.

There are just just far too many different types of cancer to find one all encompassing cure. Perhaps one day, but we still need greater technology and more research.

Cancer is not one disease but over 200. There are no easy answers. Some cancers are very treatable and thus are cured. Others are more difficult. The disease is far more complicated than it seems to people unaffected by it.

However, please keep in mind that there is no cure for the common cold either . . even though there has been tons of research and money thrown at it too.

There is a segment of our country with diseases who ask the same question. These people believe the medical profession and the drug industry contrive together to make money off illness and not cure anything. We as a country need to be aware of what could be an attempt to take advantage of those of us who do not check out what is controlled by Corp. America.
We all need to research this important subject.

Well! what I actually think is,if they find a cure for cancer,then the population of the world would probably double,or even triple,and that would create another problem.
