Yep, if we really want to cure cancer, we need to go back into the tissue archives and study every single cancer that's ever been diagnosed, at the molecular level, to start getting our heads around what really happened to all those people. 10 million people a year. Every year. For a the last 6-7 decades of chemotherapy.<p>Meanwhile, there's this perverse medicolegal incentive to retain the excised tissue samples for the minimum necessary period of time, which is 10 years for US laboratories accredited by the College of American Pathologists.<p>You heard it right, the lawyers won. We spend medical administration time filling out medical administrative paperwork to spend medical care dollars burning most of the cure to cancer. Every year.
