The war against cancer is now nearly 4 decades old. And for all the billions of dollars spent on research and treatment over that long period one would think that a cancer diagnosis would be less scary today than it was when the “war” began. Unfortunately, that is not the case.

Cancer remains the dreaded “big C.” It is still feared more than any other diagnosis. And the “cure” is still worse than the disease. “Success” is still defined in terms of a 5 year survival rate regardless of whether or not the patient drops dead at five years plus one day AND regardless of quality of life during those five years. In the future the world will look back at this medical war on cancer and shake its collective head in disbelief much as we do today on, oh say, the use of bloodletting in medieval times. The war on cancer might be said to be going through its own medieval period at present.
