Pharmaceutical companies invested and invest money in patient's groups, which are nonprofit lobbying groups whose jobs are to somehow make questioning a diagnosis, or any particular drug or surgery that has been proposed to treat it, something bordering on (often explicitly claimed) racism or genocide.
They supply the media with constant press releases, publicize industry-generated studies, and give politicians something uncontroversial to support in order to pretend like they're working. Nobody is lobbying against some weird type of cancer, or the drug that doesn't work that is being offered as a "hope."
