Message: [QUOTE="Oakland, post: 5183284, member: 590"] Lots and lots of progress has been made in the last 30 years. There is not much mystery to cancer any more. One problem is that cancer cells are derived from your cells - they are a malignant form of you! The second problem is that cancer is the result of many factors, e.g. p53 mutations is an important one but one of many, and just because we understand most of these factors doesn’t mean we can deliver a suitable treatment for every cancer. If society really wanted to limit cancer, it would need to much better control the chemicals that we are exposed to - but that would involve some sacrifices. [/QUOTE]
