After my experience, I realized the medical community has very little idea about what causes cancer. They don't really know what it is. I think that's from misnaming it in the first place. It should have been separated out and called something general such as liver malignancy, breast malignancy, oral malignancy. Some fast growing, common malignancies such as breast, the treatments we use are becoming better. But others, such as pancreas, they basically have no treatment for at all. It's very scary.
