Scientists in new push to control cancer before curing it

Fixed the headline for ya:

Scientists delay curing cancer to ensure ongoing funding

Yes I know. Skeptics will say that there is no money in curing, only in long term therapy to control over a lifetime (if you can call that "therapy"). Maybe I can be skeptical too, and say maybe the scientists at drug companies are listening to their investors.

Go to any hospital for whatever and be stunned at the number of drugs on offer to manage symptoms.

Even if companies had techniques to eradicate diseases there is a strong profit driven instinct not to implement them.

Capitalism means cancer treatments and not eradication will be the focus....
