Maybe. Then again, cancer is a complex thing, there doesn't exist only just one. And for many cancers there are successful treatments. My mom herself survived one and she feels great now.

Medical research is complicated, expensive and takes time. Until a single drug is approved 10 years can pass (from first experiment to being sold commercially).

I'm not denying that there is a good portion of corruption in the pharmaceutical industry but as someone aspiring to enter medical research myself I just can't believe that everything is already cured and just held back.

Thank you for your opinion, it's always important to talk about this. And I really understand your point of view, it can really feel like this sometimes.
