We’ve harnessed electricity, sequenced the human genome, and eradicated smallpox. But after billions of dollars in research, we haven’t found a solution for a disease that affects more than 14 million people and their families at any given time. Why is it so difficult to cure cancer? Kyuson Yun explains the challenges.

Hard to watch but worth it. I have adrenalcortical carcinoma stage 4, even the big universities can only do chemo palliative to attempt to slow this down but will most likely only help some symptoms. I have less than 6 months prognosis and it seems like nobody knows my rare cancer. The struggle is intense and all of us with any cancer feel like or are indeed, fading away.

its really hard but in this world like even if we find the cure the government would not make it accessible . Anyone who had made groundbreaking discoveries after announicing it next day there is no trace of them they all disappear . Even if someone out there has made a cure then i doubt we will ever get to know

the background is so disturbing
@miabohme4899My mother has had cancer three times. The first time was incredibly painful, involving chemotherapy and radiation treatment. Years later the second cancer was aggressive but was successfully removed through surgery. They then started immunotherapy, but two months later, it came back. I sometimes feel more devastated than my mother. She is handling it with incredible strength and seems to have accepted that her life may come to an end. Maybe that's something I still cannot accept. As a grown man, I feel like a helpless child.
@samirhantour8979There IS an inexpensive CURE for cancer! But the AMA has SUPPRESSED it! It jeapardizes their JOB SECURITY!
@JazzfestnCancer is such a horrible disease. I hope we can find a cure or a vaccine for it soon.
@EsmeraldaTheSimpthương người dân quá
@TuHoang-l3h3yI know an Egyptian doctor who has helped people with cancer, chronic illnesses, infertility, and other difficult health conditions using his own treatment system, which focuses on gut health and nutrition.
His approach is based on two main beliefs:
1. Fasting: Eating only when hungry, drinking when thirsty, and avoiding excess. He believes fasting helps the body eliminate damaged cells and support healing.
2. Restrictive Diet called Tayebat:
Mainly he allows a small list of approved foods and removes everything else with many commonly eaten foods.

the race for the cure for “Cancer” is a game for the rich spoiled brats at Harvard and Ivy Leagues
@emmeayoubIts a cell that escape killing itself become immortal instead it kills the host instead
@memes-o9uWhy am I 2026... This is 8 yrs ago
@karim-l-m8mIts hard also because the goverment hide the ways to solve cancer.
@Mia-z5m7eIt's not hard to get rid of cancer, however you and others like you want ppl to believe your lie.
@Calotcha13I bet we've already cured cancer. But there's no money in cures, so it'll never see the light of day.
@Raptorman80Or maybe all the people that did find a cure of cancer died of “accidents”…
@LouieEstrella-s6gthere is more money in the drugs, not the cure.
@christopherblust3930Just out of the mind thinking, not a doctor or scientist. What if cancer is very hard to solve because it is just a symptom not the disease since we all have cancer cells technically. We might be trying to cure the symptom but what if the long term solution is just simple we just don't know what.
@sjdmforlifeTreatment can change which subclone takes over, it’s like survival of the fittest inside the tumor.
@OscarRivera-n8dBECAUSE OF THE-
@Mohamed-kq2mjYou shuld have simply said their are too many types of sells that might be in 1 living thing that can be cured by one drug and it is very hard and complex to make 1 drug that can kill all types
@HAPPYCHIP-q1bCan't drugs or alcohol be the key to curing cancer because what if whatever is in alcohol that causes cancer or drugs that causes cancer can have an antidote in it? If there was a way to reverse the effects of these specific causes, maybe it could cure cancer.
@nathanquintana2652Because it’s too profitable
@DanielRodriguez-pk5rkInstead I will turn people into dinosaurs
@WinterRose0519Awesome video, looking forward to the next one!
@LEVensDillonBecause sharp dih syndrome jus like me VERY LONG AHAAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA NIAGGAGAGGGGGA
@YOUARENIGGA7417I hate cancer
@EmilynSecondswhy is it so hard to get cancer
@rrrrrreyythe real reason is because curing diseases is an unsustainable business model because you lose your customers immediately after gaining them. Its much more profitable to leave people sick and have them pay for several ineffective treatments, raising money for research, ect. So of course everyone who has either come close or claimed to have found a true cure, has gone missing or been killed under "mysterious conditions"
@alexdjajic9604It is very hard to cure cancer because we continue eating what is causing it. Our body fights until it gives up. Cut what feeds cancer, and the body will heal itself.
@mzeemombasa.3456Its because the government
@UprightBasketI'm a stage 4 pancreatic cancer victim. I'm 16, and this battle started since I was 6. I hope that I and many other cancer victims recover, and we find a solution to this painful disease 💔💔
@Terranox_YTGreat tips, thanks for sharing!
@husaensayed6855It's so crazy that tumors act as living organisms, manipulating the other cells to provide it with blood and take it's waste so it can keep "living" (of course the actual tumor is in no way alive as the sense that you and I are alive because they are just mutated cells)
@neon_lights❤
@RichKarki-n1sThanks
@RichKarki-n1sYeah i know how to cure cancer now

Very well done, appreciate this video!
@CharlieLyonsytgDo you know that there were actually 2 people who found a cure but some selfish people killed them for money AND WiFi was going to be electric, so basically it was gonna be free but some other selfish people kill them because they wanted money
@A.L.J.O.U.DIt will never go away as long its feeding billions of dollars into those higher ups pockets
@Peaceishere-p7hLoved the content, keep it coming!
@Nick-y8c8kIf only it was possible to create a tool to attract all the cancer to one specific extractable location in the body, that would make it easier to extract the cancer.Maybe if its undefeatable then that part of the body should be extracted, like for example a bate to attract all the cancer to the toe and removing the toe if the the cancer is too stubborn to kill.
@annakinnsssBecause they keep killing the ones who has the answer about this problem.
@deybpolancosWhy is it so difficult to cure Cancer what's the DNA make-up? Did you know that the Sunflower 🌻 absorb radiation maybe eat some sunflower seeds,But I am sure there's a way , Cancer here B12 and Endure protein God bless 🙏
