I have often wondered if they had a cure for all cancers, would they let the public know or keep the money trail going. Cancer is big money and I am not confident that the powers that be would even be honest about having a cure. I would hope they would but I guess I have become skeptical in my old age.
My dog had cancer in her leg that attacks the sheath around the nerves and blood vessels. He removed what he could but couldn’t get it all and said that he expected it to return within 6 months. He called it a very aggressive cancer that returned on 95% of the cases and that I could take her for radiation therapy in Ann Arbor (for $10,000) or have the leg amputated. I brought her home expecting to take her back to get rid of the leg but it’s been 5 years with no return of the cancer.

Maybe 200, that's about how many different types of cells there are. Treatment varies greatly. Any cures will be fairly specific. Many are from various genetic mutations. Some are from local stem cells gone wild.
Redefining Disease, Genes and All
Scientists are finding that two tumors that arise in the same part of the body and look the same on a pathologist’s slide might be quite different in terms of what is occurring at the gene and protein level. Certain breast cancers are already being treated differently from others because of genetic markers like estrogen receptor and Her2, and also more complicated patterns of genetic activity.
