This argument makes no sense.
There is not more profit in a "treatment" than there is a cure. This just is not true. If a drug company came up with a cure for a serious type of cancer they would be sitting on a gold mine. That is why they spend so much money looking for a cure.
Second, there are a lot of people doing cancer research other than drug companies. So the profit motive in treating the symptoms would not effect them because they have no profit motive to just treat the symptoms.
Third, there was more money in treating the symptoms of all sorts of serious diseases like polio, leporsy, and tuberculosis yet all those diseases have pretty much been wiped out.
Fourth, they have discovered many successful treatments for cancer. If your theory was true then we would not have chemotherapy, or any type of radiation treatment.
All of these points prove that you are wrong.
