There are theories that speculate there are conspiracies or cover-ups involving cancer cures by various entities involving the medical and scientific professions and the (U.S.) government. (Does it concern only the U.S.?)
What do you think?
Poll:
Do you believe there is a conspiracy (to whatever degree) involving cancer cures?
5 = strongly convinced
4 = it's possible
3 = not sure
2 = unlikely
1 = don't believe at all
We have not outsmarted cancer yet. They throw a lot of money at the problem, but we see how well that strategy works for democrats.
The odds of survival are better today than in the past though, and cancer rates have been declining for many reasons in America. So there has been some improvement.
Immunotherapy is the revolutionary game changer I believe. They tried this 100 years ago, in a primitive fashion. Only now is it being taken seriously.
I'm going with unlikely. I don't think there is a cure, and I think if there was, it would not be hidden, but I could believe that less attention is going to developing one since treating it is logically more profitable than curing it. If such a cure existed, it would likely be unreasonably pricey for the reason I already stated.

I can't figure out why they developed vaccines for smallpox and polio.
Why would not some socialist dictator have utilized the cure or a billionaire with cancer?
The main problem with almost all conspiracy theories is they require too many powerful forces with conflicting interests to conspire together and then keep it secret.

Exactly. As I said, I think it's all highly unlikely. It's plausible that little time is being invested into it, but even that I think is simply not true. It's more likely that we still have a pretty limited understanding on why cancer really happens and thus is harder to effectively cure.
Here's the be all and end all argument as I see it: Why don't we see Canada or England or any other country with socialized medicine turn to these quack treatments? The for profit medical industry is one found only in the United States (on such a large scale anyway), we're pretending that other countries don't exist. Other countries actually have an interest in keeping people healthy at a low cost and guess what, they don't turn to plant seeds. I guess the conspiracy theorists have some bs explanation for that. But I don't buy it.
Cancer is not a monolithic disease like polio or small pox. There are many different types of cancer with various causes and thus various "cures". So, OP, which cancer?
