Men, women, tram conductors, train passengers, a couple on their way to the theatre, were all coated in white. The gang smashed a car window and threw flour inside. Then someone threw a stone that split a man’s head open.
Why is cancer so hard to cure?

Jul 15, 2023 | msn.com | Kate Aubusson |Jackson Graham |Felicity Lewis

A crisis of confidence can come from the most unassuming sources. For Darren Saunders, it was a simple question from his young daughter. The cancer biologist had been feeling pretty optimistic about developments in the search for cancer cures, with “whole new classes of treatments coming through”. “I was going around telling everybody about all these amazing things we can do and the advancements we’ve made in understanding cancer.
