Over several generations we have seen medical advancements develop and progress made in many aspects. With so much progress that has been made for cancer treatment and research many often ask the question of why there hasn't been a cure for cancer. If you think about all the funding that has been pouring into the cancer sector along with what has been done you would think cancer would have been defeated at this point but what is the problem and what is keeping us from finding a cure?
Many advocates exercise the importance of cancer awareness and prevention with screenings, lifestyle changes, and programs but some often wonder what is being done to find a cure? Research, training, and treatments have been conducted and performed for decades what were is the connection between finding the cure versus making advancements during the cancer research process?
Many people have their own theories on why we haven't obtained a cure. Since there are various types of cancers learning about their origin and how they begin can help give some clues on prevention but prevention and a cure isn't the same thing. Some may argue the environmental aspects of cancer and how elements of where we live can be changed or eliminated to get rid of the cancer threat altogether. Another thought is that maybe too much time is spent on updating treatment options and not enough time researching cure options.
At this point it's hard to tell what the real reason is but with the progress that has been made the thought of not having a cure is complicated and confusing. Since researchers have done studies to conduct how cancer develops along with defining treatment options you would think somewhere along the process a cure or components to make up a cure would be imminent. Because of the seriousness of cancer and how it affects the body the focus for finding a cure should have been a priority.
The advancements and progress has been great for various types of cancers but many feel since there isn't much talk of curing cancer that the focus isn't there. You have to admit that many pharmaceuticals are making a pretty profit but as much money as they have made over the last several decades it doesn't amount to the people who have lost their battle with cancer. So when it comes to cancer the main question is what is being done to find a cure and some even wonder if it is curable.
Even though there have been advancements made in the treatment of cancer you may have to consider a few roadblocks that have come up with certain cancers and the fact that there are over 100 types can make things complicated. A lot of time has passed with some being optimistic about the future. We can applaud the new breakthroughs that have come about in recent years but have researches lost focus for coming up with a cure and if there is one when will we see it?
