A search for the cure for cancer should be a national goal such as was placing a man on the moon during the 60s. The feds should provide billions of dollars for such an effort to rid us of all cancers.
I believe that in the early 1970's, then President Richard Nixon attempted to launch such an effort. I remember watching his speech about it. I am not sure what happened to that, hopefully Congress did not hold back funding for it. (It's possible that the emergence of Watergate put this campaign by the wayside.)
Although there has been so much incredible treatment progress since then and many cancers are no longer the death sentence they once was...an actual 'cure' is evasive. Possibly because there are so many variations of it.
