Pharmaceutical companies spend billions of dollars every year to find cures for all types of illnesses including cancer.  They make their big money when they find cures.

Why would the patent laws that apply to all other medications not apply to treatments for cancer?

What other cures does a single pharmaceutical company have a patent on?

Not all drugs require a patent, which is pointed out in this article from May that says a cure for cancer has been found in Canada.  

Even if that's not a valid cure, the point remains the same that not all drugs require a patent, so why would a pharmaceutical company spend billions of dollars on something for other companies to exploit?

Figured a lawyer would understand about patent laws, even if it wasn't his specialty.
