I just watched the video, I will not join the patent argument, not anything I am concerned with.
As to the research involved with treatment, something I rarely if ever mention, I have spent the last 30 years living with this really bright lady who does work in the area of oncology. The system for research, in our present system is in itself flawed horribly. In this case the Dr. could be the best damned researcher in the world, he could hold the answers to cancer, and as it is, he might not get funded.
The research in and of itself must be funded, and the funding can be a huge amount of money, as was stated in the video. If the grant requests are not processed and written to favor the the granting authorities, no research will be done. The practices that have large research departments, such as M.D. Anderson, Mayo and Duke University have people who know how to write requests that get approved. Smaller practices with great Dr.s cannot get the $ to be as progressive in research and therefore treatment as those that have the staffs to walk the grant requests through.
As we all know, Cancer is Big Business, a single shot that restores the immune system can cost $10,000.00 PER SHOT, and sometimes MORE! Why is the cost so high?....It is strictly due to the fact that the research is done by the big pharmaceutical companies as opposed to the Dr's on the front line. The system of health care, health care research and implementation is severely FLAWED.
When big money pharm. companies do the research, the costs rise, when there is solid research and no money to fund it, we lose!...
