If they cure cancer tomorrow, they would lose research money too. Are all the scientists in the world collaborating to keep the cure under wraps?

You're going into the argument by stating that if someone has a financial incentive, they must have evil intentions. Most scientists, particularly in this field, don't make a lot of money doing this kind of research. They do it for the love of science. If it was about money, they would be in a field of science that paid big bucks in the private sector. Not diddling around college campuses begging for grants.
