    Ok this might sound stupid but
    WHY IS THERE NO CURE FOR THE 2 NAMED ABOVE??!!

    Can't chemists mix and experiment medicine by either mixing them together or some kinda potion thingy
    Seems stupid, is there no way to fight and BEAT cancer?
    If you get diagnosed with cancer do you just give up your life, I mean lets face it,once someone has cancer he knows him self he is going to die sooner or later. and the pain that person must be going through every day, why do people bother going to hospitals and doctors to check up,if you know that they have no cure for you??

    Cancer isn't one single disease, it is a general term to describe malignant changes at a cellular level.
    There are two types of diabetes. Insulin dependant diabetes occurs when the pancreas produces insufficient insulin or none at all. Non- insulin dependant diabetes occurs later in life, frequently linked to obesity. A cure would involve tricking the body into producing a hormone it can't produce naturally.

    If it's so easy then you should give it a go yourself.

    Even if your cancer is 'treated' there are remains of the tumors floating around all over your body. They move quickly and will spread and grow. If you have a tumor in your foot and the doctor treats/removes it, there will be another one already traveling up your leg into your stomach and so on. A tumor stays a tumor, it never goes away.
    This is what I learned by the web

    there is! There is! I was at a swanky party and a big-shot pharma lad was sloshed- he started bragging about how they had found cures ages ago but sure there was no money in that, then he fell over. I tried to revive him and get him to repeat it, but i was feeling a bit unsteady myself and fell over him. Apparently, me falling on him caused a lot of damage, going by his roars, so I slunk off. I hope he can cure being Dworked.

    Isn't this unfair to the people who get diagnosed with this
    They have no way of getting out
    I mean if we had a cough or flu we would know ''oh 2 spoons of syrup will make it better' but the cancer patients have nothing
    When do you think they will have a cure made and how had is it to make the cure
    I might genuinly try to help in nearby future

    Cancer is caused by a mutation of the cell's DNA so it can't control the rate by which it divides properly. So you're trying to develop something to bind to these specific markers at a tiny molecular level and destroy them, but there are so many variations of cancer that arise from different sections of the genome, it's going to be an extremely difficult task to accomplish.

    I don't believe medicine will achieve it, I think it'll be the development of biotechnology that will play the biggest part in eradicating cancer specifically and effectively without damaging the whole body like chemotherapy does currently.

    Syrup won't cure a cold of flu.

    I was diagnosed with cancer. I didn't have nothing. I was lucky and surgery cured me. There was also the option of radiotherapy. I haven't had a recurrence though I do have regular appointments to keep an eye on it.

    Cancer is an all encompassing term. One cure will not fix all

    Treating cancer is not like the law of conservation of mass so that the cancer always remains, just somewhere else. You can treat cancer, and if secondary tumours appear elsewhere they can be treated too.

    WOW
    Yeah I heard about radioactivity and chemotherapy
    Did you not get any tumors and like what kind of cancer did you have
    Is there any ways of getting it back, is it fully gone out of your body
