If you ask the typical layperson, he or she will say that medicine is doing wonders today in cancer treatment and research but the FDA published a 'panic bulletin' in 2008 noting that the number of new drug approval requests had declined for the first time since the approval process was established, and the typical patent attorney will tell you that the drug patenting laws are now inappropriate because they were designed to protect major therapeutic breakthroughs which are no longer happening. The death rates for many forms of cancer have not improved significantly for decades at all.Well in short, medicine is stagnating, but the public is being told the opposite with cancer treatment and research.The cancer foundation and all non profit ,public and private sectors are getting whopping money that is outrageous for cancer treatment and research !!With little to no improvements at alll in the past 20 to 25 years. What is going on?

When you get cancer, you better hope a dr has a kind enough heart to give you the stagnant treatments that will save your life. Post something intellectual or go somewhere else. You didnt even bother to cite your sources, as Im sure you read that garbage somewhere online...

That's just not the case. Recent medical developments such as SirSpheres and Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy, drugs such as Afinitor, Sunitinib, Gleevec mean many neuroendocrine carcinoma patients are living for decades now when twenty years ago their median survival time from diagnosis was measured in months. This is the case with regard to my rare cancer, which you could argue has a relatively small amount of research dollars invested.

It's pretty obvious from your question that you are a typical layperson who does not know anything about current cancer treatment, current research and you probably have never met a cancer patient in your life. Typically you have not given even one shred of documented evidence to support your opinion. This is pretty much an opinion or worse a political rant.

All true, but cancer is BIG business, so why kill the goose that lays the golden egg? There are two cancer treatments with high success rates, each based on a simple diet - find them on the net: 1. Gerson diet; fruit and fruit drinks: http://gerson.org/ 2. Johanna Budwig diet; cottage cheese and flaxseed oil (linseed oil). Also, there are herbal teas specifically for specific cancers listed in Maria Treben's book, " Health Through God's Pharmacy ." Using Maria Treben's herbal teas a friend cured himself of leukemia (cancer of the blood) and I cured myself of stomach cancer. I was supposed to stop drinking, but I didn't, though the tea did cut out much of the desire for alcohol.
