There are plausible ways to fix cancer, outlined in some detail, but they are so different from the present status quo of cancer research that the community does not pursue them. If it doesn't look a lot like a drug, good luck in obtaining funding for your research. For example, WILT / OncoSENS. Which is to say turn off all mechanisms for telomere lengthening and work around the issues that will cause by replacing stem cell populations: http://www.fightaging.org/archives/2011/10/accumulating-the-groundwork-for-the-ultimate-cure-for-cancer.php http://www.fightaging.org/archives/2011/10/accumulating-the-... http://sens.org/research/introduction-to-sens-research/onco http://sens.org/research/introduction-to-sens-research/onco --- Further, even a robust cure for a specific cancer based on targeted cell killing (by surface chemistry or other markers) doesn't require a complete understanding of the cancer cell - you just need to identify a reliable marker, no need to understand why it's a reliable marker.
