Oddly, I fund the promulgation of open science. Too much of cancer research has become regimented and secretive. Experimental data is hard to reproduce or verify and opinions are held as the final truth. Much as the 'cocktails' finally cracked the mortality of AIDS, I believe much of the work for cancer treatment has been done in separate pockets of knowledge.

While this does not directly answer you question, a prize for the heretics would be good. Perhaps Barry Marshal or Robin Warren would run it; they faced massive criticism for their work with H. Pylori before it became mainstream.

Obama and the NCI have become big proponents of opening up cancer data to everyone. Even going so far as to publicly call out places like Stanford for walling off data.

Check out the Genomic Data Commons as well to see partial results from these efforts. There's a nice article about it too at http://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/January-2017/Canc...
