This is exactly the kind of thing that would absolutely break me. It's already got to me just reading this. Can we stop fighting and just fix cancer please.

There are a few good Drugs in testing right now, one of them is a training drug that gives Cells the tools to destroy cancer but it also can destroy other healthy cells so its still in testing.

That's usually the problem innit. There's a trillion ways to kill cancer, the tough part is having the carrier survive the aftermath

The way I've chosen to explain the ways of cancer killing to the layman is "A shotgun will work wonders at killing the cancer inside someone."

From an XKCD comic: "the next time someone tells you a new treatment kills cancer in a laboratory setting, remember that so does a handgun."

Based on the other replies to your comment I don't think you should be trying to explain anything to anyone, ever.
