Is the cure for cancer just finding out what "causes" cancer?!
Question: It's probably both external and internal. We are undoubtedly exposed to cancer-causing agents. But we also have to figure out what triggers cancer in some people and not in others and then how to shut it off once it begins. It's a multi-layered problem. Another problem with finding a cure, in my opinion, is that cancer is big business and think of what a cure would mean to the medical community, health insurance, drug companies.

There are as many reasons as to what causes cancer as there are cancers. I recently heard however that this approach is being investigated by one researcher. I wish him luck.
No, curing cancer is trying to figure out how to stop the massive multiplying cells in your body without hurting or damaging any part of the patients body.
Well, living one heck of a lot longer is one of the reasons why there's more cancer now than there used to be thousands of years ago. That's not something I particularly want to give up.
No it isn't.
Cancer is an umbrella term for over 200 diseases, and nobody knows what causes most of them. The problem with finding a cure s that they are all caused by different things and no one treatment is suitable for all cancers; there will never be a magic bullet cure for all cancers.
And some cancers can be cured these days, especially when caught early.
You have listed what I assume you think are the causes of cancer, and you are wrong in each case.
The belief that cell phones and other electronic devices cause cancer is considered one of the top ten cancer myths:

And there is no scientific evidence at all that deodorant and anti-perspirant cause cancer. The widespread belief that they cause breast cancer is due largely to a hoax email that was widely circulated:

It's a lot easier and less frightening for many people who haven't had cancer to blame the victim - that is to assume that an individual's lifestyle is somehow to blame for their cancer. So people blame diet, lack of exercise, deodorant and cell phone use, stress etc etc, rather than accepting that cancer is a largely random disease that can strike anyone at any time.
i belive u are born with the attributes to develop cancer.. therfore you are unable to prevent it
