The REAL Cure for Cancer

One thing not mentioned in the video is that MRI, our arguably best diagnosis tool, is very expensive. It also needs helium in order to be cooled and stay in the functional operating range. As you might know, we're running out of helium on the planet, fast. Most of it is used in the space industry, before you think we're wasting it all on balloons. 

So even if we invest more into MRIs, it is not feasible to upscale them to public commercial use for routine checkups on a larger percentage of the population. We don't just need better treatment options, we need better early detection options as well. The tools we have now are either not good enough at catching things early or would be too expensive to offer to a larger percentage of the population. Of course we should make most out of what we have already, but it's also important to realize the limitations of our current tech on a larger scale.
