More important is the fact that although doctors can often cure the disease - if it is caught early enough - the battle against cancer has been agonizingly slow. All too often, treatments are extremely expensive (the median cost of a cancer case was calculated in a 1973 study at $19,000), physically painful and, when surgery...
