when billionaires are still dying of cancer, thats how I know theres still not a cure

Hank Green said something on his YouTube channel recently or maybe it was in the comments. ‘Lots of money goes towards cancer research because it’s the one thing that scares the shit out of the billionaires.’ If someone can find the exact quote, I feel like I’m butchering it.

Cancer biologist here: Also it just makes the most sense from a business perspective. If ANY company corners the market on a huge chunk of the cancer therapy market, they are straight up now a multi-billion (possible trillion) dollar company I hate the whole “business doesn’t want a cure” narrative/conspiracy because in the US alone, there are 150-200k industry biochemists, with a decent chunk of them prolly working in the oncology/immunooncology space. We are trying, but cancer is an extremely tough b******

This same concept applies across any "cabal of scientists hiding the truth from the common people". Have you ever met my colleagues? They will step on their own mothers to be first to publish some new finding that breaks with the mainstream thinking on any given problem.

Not like a cabal of millions of people would be able to hide any truth anyway. The US government has 10 supposedly top people planning an attack on Iran and they can't help but leak it all to a journalist, and we are supposed to think millions of underpaid people of all kinds across the entire planet are all able to hide something?

A few work experiences at so-called top institutions convinced me that conspiracy theories cannot work in real life. If it does, it’s always an accident or coincidence, and never something meticulous planned and kept secret.

BLT_Trade_r Mar 24, 2026 +13
I mean it depends on the conspiracy theory, Epstein and his whole thing went pretty far before it really took off in the mainstream minds. A conspiracy does not need to be unknown, it just has to have low enough exposure.
13
HellBlazer_NQ Mar 23, 2026 +66
I've always thought the conspiracy for business don't want a cure to be absolute tosh because you can't provide life long care to dead people. The longer people live the more likely they are to need medication for non fatal conditions.

AMaterialGuy Mar 23, 2026 +160
I work with poorer populations, both urban and rural. It breaks my heart when they say that >They're holding the cure for themselves/from us. I explain that the uber wealthy still die from these diseases, and it does a huge disservice to the many smart people working really hard to find cures and prevention. I agree with you about the whole broken "business doesn't want a cure". It would save everyone money, and the pharma and other companies literally exist to solve these problems.
160
MrRabbitofCaerbannog Mar 23, 2026 +58
Id say their general idea is correct, even if they're oversimplifying or missing nuance. The ultra-wealthy arent hoarding a cure, but they are the ones who have significantly greater access to experimental treatments and other means to extend their lives when poorer people just suffer
58
DrJurassic Mar 23, 2026 +46
By law, most experimental treatment in America can’t be billed to the patient, just items that would be performed per their normal standard of care. Most oncology hospitals are performing clinical research and it’s often the perferred treatment for all patients, it’s just tricky because a lot of research has very strict inclusion criteria. The advantages rich people have is the luxury to move to hospitals performing the specific clinical trial they want or access to other countries for a procedure not approved in America.

FatalFirecrotch Mar 23, 2026 +7
no company will do that because there’s just too many complexities and variables to cancer.

NightSail Mar 23, 2026 +241
I don't have the quote for you, but it is appropriate he said something about this because he had cancer.
241
CashWho Mar 23, 2026 +149
Yeah he also talked about how he looks more into companies when donating because, while cancer treatment is very important, there's also a *lot* more to cancer than just treatment. Taking care of people and making their lives/their loved ones lives' easier is also super important.
149
Evadrepus Mar 23, 2026 +35
Yeah, that's one of the reasons when I donate i will look for St Jude or Ronald McDonald House if I dont see one i prefer otherwise.
35
J412h Mar 23, 2026 +29
When my son was hospitalized for his cancer treatment, the Ronnie House was amazing. I cannot say enough good things about them In case anyone doesn’t already know, they are not funded by McDonald’s corp. The only time they receive money from the restaurants is from the change boxes at the window and the once-a-year promotional meal that is barely advertised They are a charity that relies heavily upon donations and they are doing good work If you ever get a chance to volunteer, please do. It will be an experience you’ll love. Those chemo kids are freaking awesome
29
J412h Mar 23, 2026 +22
St Jude’s is also awesome The NIH gives 4% of their funding for pediatric oncology research. The rest goes to adult cancer research St Jude’s is privately funded and they tackle tough research, they are often the leading edge of research for pediatric cancer Kids deserve more than 4%

Honestly his cancer was treatable and detected in early stages but he decided to forego that because a bunch of fruit juice was the better option
1274
BoldNewBranFlakes Mar 23, 2026 +649
Yup, and before he died he said that his biggest regret was going all in on home remedies instead of going through professional medical care. 
649
Optimaximal Mar 23, 2026 +378
At least he had the epiphany. Most of his ilk dig their heels in until the end believing their faith/beliefs/money will see them through.
378
BoldNewBranFlakes Mar 23, 2026 +140
Agreed, that has always been the thing that stuck out about his death to me. Regardless of economic status people that usually lean heavy into non-traditional methods tend to be arrogant all the way to the end. I can’t imagine the mental regret while passing away from a treatable stage of cancer. 
140
plesioth Mar 23, 2026 +83
The 'alternate medicine' folks also tend to be in poor financial situations where they don't have access to literally all the tools in the world. If your beliefs aren't backed up by stubborn desperation from a lack of seemingly viable options, it might be easier to recognize when you fucked up because you thought your beliefs held as much weight as the collective advancement of hard earned human knowledge. Rich pricks are just as dumb as poor folks, but they can usually just pay away the consequences of their hubris. It just turns out that cancer is a bit harder to bribe than a judge.
83
Robzilla_the_turd Mar 23, 2026 +27
Well to be fair his epiphany came to late to save him from what was otherwise a very survivable diagnosis.
27
ConeCrewCarl Mar 23, 2026 +11
also wasted a good liver transplant on him. IF he followed medical advice early and IF the cancer did not metastasize to other parts of his body he wouldn't have even needed to take that liver transplant from someone else, but he waited drank fruit juice and homeopathic remedies, then when things got worse, since he had access to private jets, he was able to join transplant lists in multiple states in order to "jump the line" and get a donor liver asap. Took that good liver from someone, 30 months later he was dead. cry me a river about steve jobs
11
WeirdIndividualGuy Mar 23, 2026 +21
He had a lot of regrets as he grew older. He also had regrets on being a shitty dad to his daughter. But too little too late. Glad he realized before he died he was in the wrong, but the damage was done at that point

And it was pancreatic cancer. The fact it was detected early is a miracle. Then ignored the medical professional who found it was profoundly stupid. There’s no simple test for it like prostate cancer. That’s a big part of why it’s so deadly. It sneaks up on you. My friend died of it three years ago. He was 45 days from diagnosis to death. The fact we haven’t atleast developed a simpler test than a biopsy of the pancreas is sad to me.
90
ArtAttack2198 Mar 23, 2026 +37
Yeah, pancreatic moves fast and it’s often silent. My dad died of it in his early 40s. Diagnosed on a Friday, died the following Monday. 26 years ago.

Carrera_996 Mar 23, 2026 +6
Sorry to hear that. My dad fought it a long time. It was a miserable fight, but at least we had plenty of warning.

ensui67 Mar 23, 2026 +21
It wasn’t the typical pancreatic cancer that kills most of their victims. He had the rarer form that’s slower growing and curable through surgery. Had he gotten it taken care of soon enough, like he should have, he probably would have lived until he died of something else. A waste.

Apparently he absolutely stank because he believed being fruitarian was an acceptable alternative to showering.

This was when he was younger he was taken aside by an exec and told that has to stop(might have been the head of HP I forget now). He stopped the not showering thing.

JockstrapCummies Mar 23, 2026 +112
He wasted a good liver transplant as well, god knows how much he paid to jump the queue. Sticking to his "fruits only diet to cure cancer", his transplant quickly got consumed and he died anyway. Legend has it his stupid anti-cancer fruit-only diet convinced him he didn't need showers. So you have a cancer patient stinking to high heavens telling you the newest iPhone design needs to be more magical.
112
ligee Mar 23, 2026 +85
You can’t directly pay money to jump the queue for a transplant, BUT if you’re rich like Steve Jobs, you can register to be on the transplant list in every single state and when the first one becomes available for you, move to whichever state it’s in at the drop of a hat (Tennessee in Jobs’ case) and buy a house where you can recover nearby (and then apparently later give that house to the surgeon who did your transplant) which the average non-billionaire person can’t do, per my med school transplant surgeon professors *Edit: It looks like after a couple of years of living in the house with utilities/expenses paid for by Jobs’ people, the surgeon ended up buying it for the price Jobs originally paid (doctors ethically can’t take high monetary value gifts, and your medical license can be threatened by conflict of interest).*
85
SelfServeSporstwash Mar 23, 2026 +50
If Steve Jobs wasn’t such a massive egomaniac he’d still be alive. I’m not being hyperbolic. His cancer was completely treatable and caught shockingly early. If he had just followed his doctors’ advice from the jump and taken conventional treatments he’d have been fine. Delaying proper treatment for YEARS trying to cure it by not bathing and only eating fruit is what killed him.

DrKoala_ Mar 23, 2026 +23
From what I’ve seen or been told. Often times, these outside remedies/methods involve some process of convincing oneself that actual medicine will stop the “alternative” from working. - “Healers” that can’t heal you if you have seen a doctor. - “natural” remedies that won’t work with “artificial” drugs in your system. - prayer that only works if you do nothing but pray. Etc…

My theory is the fear is so awful, and this is one of the few ways they can feel in control of their fate. My friend Eli had a friend who was dying of AIDS. He became convinced his AIDS medication made him sick so he stopped taking it and, surprise surprise, his system was absolutely destroyed by AIDS and he was in the hospital. Eli went to his bedside and begged him to take the pills. His friend was raving, "No, no, they'll kill me!" Eli said, "You're *dying right now*, just try them!" And his friend was telling him, all confident, patting his hand in there-there gesture, oh you'll see, I'm going to walk out of this hospital all cured and everyone will see the 'truth', etc. Of course he didn't, he died in that hospital bed. I think it's so scary, their minds can't handle the fear of death. So they latch onto something they can control, like whether they take a drug, to stop the feeling of being helpless and out of control.

Albitron Mar 23, 2026 +99
There will never be a “cure for cancer.” Every single different type of cell in your body could potentially mutate to grow unregulated. We have effective treatments for many different kinds of cancers, especially the most common ones. Testicular, breast, and thyroid cancers are often curable (fully curable, not just treatable) if caught early. It’s important to me that people know this stuff!
99
ScenicAndrew Mar 23, 2026 +35
And the treatments don't even work the same for the same type of cancer across multiple people. What's more, many treatments are harmful, you undergo them because their risk is less than the risk of not having them, but that also means you can't just hodgepodge every treatment into one, it would be deadly by itself. Metastasis also changes the entire ball game, making many treatments non viable, though we're working on expanding the options. Even if you could cover all the scenarios with a single treatment, there's still a chance that the cancer went undiagnosed too long, or it's more aggressive than this hypothetical treatment is. There will never be a cure, not without another technological revolution. What there will be is an arsenal of groundbreaking and effective treatments that oncologists will have to keep on top of.
35
OBotB Mar 23, 2026 +27
There will never be one singular cure to all cancers, but there is some amazing progress in trials out there (Sellas Life Science's GPS which targets via peptide based on WT1 (Wilms ~~Toumor~~ Tumor 1) protein presence which is found in many types of cancers and their SLS0009 now also in trials, trials for both of are for harder to treat cancers rather than general; and also Alpha Tau DaRT which is a device/treatment which is effective on solid tumors (current trials for GBS/brain, pancreatic, breast, and just approved in Japan for face/head/neck) and improves simultaneous treatments like Keytruda; there are others but those are the two I know of offhand).

SolomonGrumpy Mar 23, 2026 +20
They could treat some of the root causes. Telomere length, for example: https://repeatdx.com/how-do-telomeres-affect-cancer/
20
RamsHead91 Mar 23, 2026 +8
Did you read the article though? We do have an incomplete understanding here and have little idea of how lengthening telomeres will affect people. But we do know in some cancers they either produce or start to produce some proteins that allow them to ignore proliferation limitations than telomeres should trigger. Even if we figured out how to lengthen them safely it still may not stop cancers from forming as most cancers are caused in cell lines as they accumulate sufficient mutations and end up going rogue. This very likely could be a correlation without causation situation that needs more research. It could also be like you indicate a major root cause that could reduce cancer chance by some percent as we age. On a side neat note. A fair number of cancer experience something known as "chromosomal shattering" were a chromosome(s) break and become two or more. This is supposed to trigger reactions that will lead to apoptosis, but in cancer cells, and some critical cell lines, does not. This can be cause by viral infections, some bacterial infection, radiation, just accident during replication, and what not but leads to cells having more than 23 pairs of chromosomes. In this situations the "new chromosome" will often only have a telomere on a single side. This occuring does mean the cells is now cancerous and can functions or normally for a long time but it's likelihood of changing is much higher.

It's the one thing that points to there really ISN'T a secret cure for cancer. Lots of famous, rich, and 100% corrupt and selfish people still die from it... all the time. When celebrities and politicians suddenly stop dying from cancer... take a closer look.

Marston_vc Mar 23, 2026 +303
It’s more like “cancer” is just a generalized term we use for a condition with infinite technically unique variations. Some random forms of cancers aren’t treatable. But generally speaking, 5 year outcomes have increased significantly over the years for most forms of cancer. For example, Glioblastoma (brain cancer) used to be considered a death sentence. With modern treatments the long term outcomes are still low but infinitely better than what they used to be. This type of advancement has occurred for most common forms of cancer.

ObligationSlight8771 Mar 23, 2026 +98
Ya I’ve had a brain tumor scare recently and did some light “research “ on it. While not 100% there are some real cutting edge treatments that could allow you to live alot longer than previous years. This OF guy had leukemia since 2002. He’s used science to prolong life for over 20 years. That’s not to shabby

I’m more surprised that all these people with God complexes somehow haven’t decided to pool their immense resources to find a cure (just for them of course). Which leads me to another depressing conclusion, maybe they know it’s impossible to cure? I sincerely hope it’s just greed and not the latter.

This_Is_Fine12 Mar 23, 2026 +743
First off, this myth that there's this one cure for cancer needs to die. Cancer isn't the flu or the bubonic plague. It's your own cells going haywire due to the DNA being damaged. Each cancer is different, has different treatment techniques. Every new medicine is designed so that it affects the cancer cells more than the regular cells, since after all cancer cells are your cells, not something foreign. Lots of money is already in cancer research. It's been researched for decades and there are a lot of strides that have improved remission rates, but unless something drastically futuristic happens, there's never going to be a single 1 pill cure all cancer.
743
TenOfZero Mar 23, 2026 +248
Finding a cure for cancer is like saying finding a cure for viruses. They are all different and there won't be a single cure (at least not one that leave the person alive as well).
248
Aethermancer Mar 23, 2026 +13
We'll have a "cure" for cancer when we have full control over our genome and can edit it in situ. So not anytime soon. Even then there's only so much you can do with certain types such as brain cancer as damage to the structure fundamentally altered "you". You can't exactly cure it like you could by swapping out other organs for cloned ones.

MillCrab Mar 23, 2026 +56
That claim about cancer meds being designed to hurt cancer more than healthy cells is pretty out of date. That's how chemotoxic therapies worked, but these days cancer medicine is all about biologics. Target antibodies that bind to and deactivate specific proteins cancer cells need and that healthy cells don't make or use the way cancer does. Keytruda for example, blocks a protein that cancer cells use to evade orders to kill themselves. Others target specific protein mutants that healthy cells don't express. The era of killing the cancer cells before you die from the toxicity is ending
56
froman11428 Mar 23, 2026 +28
I realize your point is that classic cytotoxic chemotherapy is less common in favor of immunotherapies like the one you mentioned (Keytruda, generic name pembrolizumab)! It’s a bit unusual to say the era of killing cancer cells before you die from toxicity is ending considering meds with Keytruda’s mechanism are famous in medicine for their possibility to cause fatal immune-mediated toxicities (there’s even a whole classification of immune related adverse events that guide when these therapies are stopped). That being said it’s always a risk benefit, and no one would prescribe these things if the benefits didn’t outweigh the risks as far as they could guess with the information they have about their patient
28
MillCrab Mar 23, 2026 +15
The side effects from biologicals are more like the side effects from traditional drugs, and less the generalized "I hope the cancer dies before I do" of cytotoxics. As the roster gets richer and richer, less and less cancers will default to be treated with that sort of generalized systemic toxicity.

zhou111 Mar 23, 2026 +40
Some forms of cancer, depending on how early it is discovered, can already be cured. There is no one size fit all solution. Even if they dumped all their money towards it will just advance the research a bit. Plus even if cancer was cured that doesn't mean they can live forever, there is Alzheimer's and other age related diseases. But in general yes there are some rich people investing money towards longevity research.

katyfail Mar 23, 2026 +8
There will never be one cure for cancer because what we call “cancer” isn’t one illness.  There are many different types of cancers effecting different areas of the body in different ways and responsive to different treatments at different stages in different people. It’s a lot more complex than something like heart disease or appendicitis. Over the past decade, we’ve made great headway in preventing or curing different types of cancers. But those treatments have to be very specific to the different types of cancers. The vaccine that can prevent the cause of cervical cancer by 70% won’t prevent you from getting a tumor in your brain.  It’s why preventing or curing “cancer” is such an appealing area for influencers, con artists and snake oil salesmen. Most people don’t understand just how wide the range of cancers are. They just know “cancer” is bad.

>I’m more surprised that all these people with God complexes somehow haven’t decided to pool their immense resources to find a cure (just for them of course). He did, actually, according to wikipedia: >In 2024 Radvinsky and his wife were both major public supporters of a $23 million grant program for cancer research, which was announced at a gastrointestinal research foundation gala. Apparently his wife has been on the board for that foundation (the Colorectal Cancer Alliance) for over a decade.

> I’m more surprised that all these people with God complexes somehow haven’t decided to pool their immense resources to find a cure (just for them of course). The dude did donate $23million towards cancer research over a year ago. It's listed under his "philanthropy" on his wikipedia. I would probably agree that it was likely a more selfish motive.

This is why that dumb med-bed conspiracy theory doesn't hold any water. I ran into a guy a while back who *fully* believed in that nonsense, and when I mentioned all the celebrities and rich people who were still dying, he went off on a tangent about how the rich Hollywood elite was too liberal to use them. Brain rot.

You do everything you can to get your high score while making people suffer in your wake. Yet you still end up in the dirt when all this is over. What a way to live your life.

Although Steve Jobs was pancreatic c., it was caught early and he declined initial aggressive treatment. His last statement was basically the exact same words. Get to a leading institute fast.

Curious what type/stage and treatment. If you've never had first hand experience with cancer (lucky you) there is a shit ton we dont know. My partner had testicular cancer, stage 2. Testicle removed, 9 sessions of radiation. NED for 7 years now. Dad, stage 4 lung cancer. (Stage 4 is non curable only treatable). Happens to have a mutation that is VERY receptive to treatment. Never had chemo. Never not once. Simply 1 every day pill and an infusion every 6 weeks. Lives a completely normal life. Mom has stage 4 colon cancer. She's the worst of the bunch, but is still very active and living life. When I say worst I mean she actually has chemo treatments and what people usually associate with cancer. Before you ask, yes we all lived in a cancer pocket. We've all moved away. All that to say. Cancer isnt the death sentence most identify it to be. But some people think they know better (ex billionaires) than medical doctors and take different routes. Listen to your oncologist. Live. We all have a fighting chance with early detection and the correct treatment.

We lived in an area of town where 62% of the residents were diagnosed with cancer over a period of 8 years. The area spanned about 5 by 7 miles (ish). It was later deemed a superfund site (landfills, mines, manufacturing facilities, processing plants where toxic waste has either been improperly managed or dumped). For clarity, we were right behind the landfill. Like literally right behind it. 🫠

Thank you. Financially, we'll never have to worry about a roof over our head or food in our bellies. Life is stable in that aspect. We're not millionaires or anything. Just comfortable enough. The hard part is the medical anxiety of it all. I get colonoscopies, mammograms, papsmears, etc more than the normal person. But im ok with that. Im alive and I have access to health care. A lot cant say that.

March 23 (Reuters) - Leonid Radvinsky, the secretive billionaire owner of O******* who reshaped the p*** industry with a subscription model, ​has died at 43 from cancer, the company said on ‌Monday. The Ukrainian-American entrepreneur bought Fenix International, the parent company of O*******, from the platform's British founder Tim Stokely in 2018. He served as a director ​on Fenix's board and was its majority shareholder. Under his ​ownership, O******* turned from a platform that once avoided explicit ⁠content into an adults-only phenomenon with more than 300 million ​users and over $1 billion in annual revenue, powered by e***** performers ​and celebrity influencers. "We are deeply saddened to announce the death of Leo Radvinsky. Leo passed away peacefully after a long battle with cancer," an O******* spokesperson ​said on Monday. Radvinsky's death leaves questions about who will own the ​platform. His Fenix shares have been held in the LR Fenix Trust since ‌2024 ⁠and he had a net worth of about $4.7 billion, according to the Forbes real-time billionaires list. Reuters [reported in January](https://www.reuters.com/legal/transactional/o*******-talks-sell-majority-stake-architect-capital-source-says-2026-01-30/) O******* was exploring the sale of a majority stake to investment firm Architect Capital in ​a deal valuing ​the company at ⁠about $5.5 billion, including debt. The platform exploded in popularity during the pandemic as millions of people stuck ​at home globally turned to the web, fuelling a ​surge ⁠in content and users. O******* takes a 20% fee on most subscriptions and content sold on the platform. Besides Fenix, Radvinsky also ran Leo, ⁠a venture ​capital fund he founded in 2009 ​that focuses primarily on investments in technology companies. He was born in Ukraine and grew ​up in Chicago.
