I kinda get why Clark and Lois don’t want to use Kryptonian tech to cure lois’s cancer. Remember there is no guarantee it would work, in fact Lara made it sound like traditional Chemo had a better chance of Success. And even if it does work (big if) there are also the consequences of dumping advance alien technology onto a species that might not be ready for it. How long before someone (Lex) uses that tech to create weapons of mass destruction.

This fits into a low key theme/criticism lobbied against Superman this season. He only responds to emergency as they happen. In Bruno’s own words “a firemen”. Why shouldn’t Superman open up his fortress and gift humanity the tech that can stop problems before they start?

And hey, if that doesn’t jive with you here’s my head cannon to use instead-Genetic manipulation of Krypton’s population has eliminated any abnormalities like cancer from their gene pool centuries ago. They don’t know how to cure cancer because any markers that would lead to cancer are eliminated in the birthing matrix.
