Allow me to comment on the subject matter, i.e., the cure for all cancers.
At the present time, cancer treatments are mostly based on the characteristics of the types of cancer under question. Thus, for certain breast cancers, the affinity of breast cancer cells to hormone is used as a fighting tool. For blood cancers, the total kill is the technique, followed by new bone marrow transplant. For liver cancers of early stage, physical removal of cancer tumors or radiotherapy on them may be the answer. HER2 has its characteristic surface property, allowing it to form the basis of Herceptin. The list goes on and on.
However, there is a universal characteristic of all cancers: they divide uncontrollablly. This universal characteristic may hold the key for a universal cure. Perhaps it is not possible to find a solution, but there have been inventions that contradicted the commonly accepted rules and scientific laws. We need such a revolutionary concept or discovery. I don't believe we currently have a universal solution yet, regardless how many gigabytes of computer power. It will come from a flick of a genius's sudden realization. It is not the greed of any mega drug company that their scientists are purposefully hiding the "truth". There simply has not yet been a solution to this enormous puzzle.
It is possible that even such a discovery does occur, the associated longer life for all human beings on this earth will accerelate the demise of the total population. From that contrarian point of view, may be it is the God's will that such a discovery should never happen.
