The one statistic that EXPOSES what an abysmal failure the war on cancer has been is this: the death rates from cancer today, are almost the SAME as they were in 1950.
Researchers believed the sequencing data would reveal a nice and orderly sequence of maybe 3 to 8 oncogenes that when mutated, manifested in a specific type of cancer – an identifying signature like a fingerprint – and they would work off this mutational signature with cures to follow, as Watson suggested. The Cancer Genome Atlas Project (TCGA) began in 2006 created to compare the sequence of normal DNA to that of 9 different types of human cancer in order to determine the exact mutations responsible for the origination and progression of the malignancies.
But what they found instead was an almost random collection of mutations – not a single one, or any combination for that matter, being absolutely responsible for initiating the disease.
No single mutation could be identified that was required for the disease to start, no combination of mutations, for that matter, could be found that initiated the disease. Remember, only about 3% of cancers have anything to do with the genes!
If cancer is not a genetic disease, then what is it? Let’s try and answer this question together.
