Who the heck wrote that? Is that a sentence or a paragraph? If I had written something like that in my writing classes I would have flunked out, and this is supposedly by a journalist. But then maybe the author doesn't use English as his/her first language.

You can usually tell the nut-cases by the lack of verbal and/or writing skills (like me).

There won't be any one cure for cancer. Each type of cancer has a different cause and therefore a different cure. Some may be caused by a virus, for example 85% of women with cervical or ovarian cancer also have one (or more) of the strains of the papiloma (sp?) virus (causes genital warts). Doctors have recently started giving young women vaccines against this virus in the hope that it will prevent the cancers. Does that constitute a cure? Maybe, but we won't know for sure until those types of cancer are wiped out completely.

In the meantime there are drugs that prevent tumors from forming the blood vessels needed to bring food and oxygen to spur further growth. The results are a reduction in the size of the tumor (in rats anyway). Is that a cure? I doubt it.

Don't take anyones word for anything. Check around, read a few other articles and make your own decision. I recommend New Scientist and Science Digest for ideas on where else to look for information. Both have online availability and the articles have other references that you can follow-up if you desire.
