Reasons of empathy, wanting to gain a heroic reputation, nobel prizes and so on.
From how I imagine cancer research works, they probably have a lot of scientific minds on the job, the more people you have the less likely it is that they're all going to be able to keep a secret.
So another question I would ask is do you think it's realistic for large communities of scientists to know the cure for cancer but keep it a secret to earn money, without anyone letting the secret slip say for money, or fame, or the heroic status they will get?
Plus in places like England where I live the treatments they have for cancer do sometimes save people's lives from cancer, so then surely these treatments that save people's lives wouldn't exist if this conspiracy theory were true?
Those are my thoughts anyway.
No i don't think its exactly easy to hide it but maybe there's some people on the inside or what ever.
Eitherway if it was possible maybe they would be hiding it for a while till the cures get leaked somhow.
