I think realistically we're waiting for someone in the top 10-20 richest people in the world to get cancer (or a close relative etc) who will then throw billions at research to try and fix the problem.

We spend upwards of $15B a year globally on cancer research. About half of that is funded by government and charities, half by pharmaceutical companies.
If spending billions was the main trick, we’d know it already.
Do we actually spend it, or do we raise that much money while only a fraction of it goes to research? <looksAtPinkRibbons>
