Why We Haven't Cured Cancer

The video discusses the complexity of cancer, highlighting that it is not a single disease but a collection of different conditions with uncontrolled cell growth. Traditional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation are blunt instruments, often causing side effects. Recent advancements in genome sequencing offer hope for personalized medicine, allowing for more targeted treatments. However, challenges remain in predicting drug effectiveness due to genetic variability in tumors.
