Cancer: Understanding why scientists have yet to discover a cure – Part 4

Stay with me on this thought for a few minutes and see if it has any validity.

A company is developed based on a product.

That product supports the existence and growth of that company.

If the product becomes irrelevant, the company too becomes obsolete.

Cancer is a disease of the body and my understanding of it from medical knowledge says it is a malfunctioning and over-productive cellular activity producing lethal growths in the body.
