Cancer is a very serious illness. This dreaded disease has caused many
deaths; cancer is a disease that's characterized by uncontrollable
cell division and the danger of these mutant cells to invade the
neighboring healthy cells and infect them. There are many types of
cancer and most of them are deadly which can cause death, while there
are some treatments available; there has been no known cure that's
potently effective just yet. Some treatments can kill the cancerous
cells while some control the symptoms such as pain. Millions every
year gets afflicted with different types of cancer and millions more
die every year all over the world. Cancer has been a serious
predicament in the medical world and there are concerns on the
probability of finding a cure soon.

There are some major efforts being done to correct this but funds have
been dwindling making these researches an effort that needs the aid of
many people. Many foundations, colleges and other medical groups are
doing intensive scientific endeavors to understand fully the
development of cancer and what possible treatments, therapies and cure
could be done to prevent cancer and its growth. They are called cancer
research. In cancer research they discover new methods of treating
cancer with the development of new technology and new discoveries
about the disease. With proper funding, cancer researches would be
able to flourish and hopefully find the perfect cure.

Many organizations have been doing their best to help fund this
research facilities, doing fund raising projects and programs for
public awareness. It is essential for the public to take notice of
this programs because anyone from anywhere can be afflicted with
cancer. Gradually, more and more people have found ways in doing both,

Yes it is.  It is too bad that modern medicine has no idea of what it
is, how to heal the condition, or have any compulsion to tell the
truth about cancer and cancer research.

When I am asked to contribute to cancer research my standard reply
is:  No thanks, I think we have enough cancer already.

As opposed to what?    Early last century,  only about 25% of breast cancer
patients lived for five years.   Today  the overall *ten* year survival rate
is 72%+.  Very few of those will relapse.

Just about any form of cancer was once a death sentence (when treated with
homeopathy, or vitalistic and other pre- scientific superstitions), whereas
over 50% of all cases are now cured.

Not marvelous, I admit, but the question remains "as compared to what?".
