I've always wondered about why medical science tends away from 'mechanical' solutions - i.e. physically damaging tumors/other problems in lieu of deep & detailed understanding of the biological process and attempting to interrupt that. Feels to me like pure science over problem solving - but that's my bias as an engineer.

Or a combination of both. If you could have a mechanical procedure once a month that doesn't poison you, and then add something else later.
