> their patent is still owned by certain oligarchy.

I don’t know that it’s helpful to have such a blunt and un-nuanced take.

Theres no “certain oligarchy” that holds a single patent on "chemotherapy" as a broad concept, as it encompasses various chemical treatments for cancer. specific chemotherapy drugs and methods are patented by pharmaceutical companies and research institutions, for example:

- NanOlogy LLC: holds a patent for a method involving injecting large surface area microparticle taxanes directly into the tumor, combined with systemic delivery of immunotherapeutic agents.

- Johns Hopkins University: assigned patent rights for a method related to cancer treatment to Becton-Dickinson & Company, which then sublicensed them to Baxter.

- University of Cincinnati Clermont College: has a patent for breakthrough chemotherapy technology involving nanocarriers.

- Northeastern University: reports a patented molecule, WYC-209, that eliminates cancer cells.
