Risk involved in uncertain cures (5)

I believe the answer is:

incur

'risk' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'involved in uncertain cures' is the wordplay.
'involved in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'INCUR' is hidden within 'uncertain cures'.

(Other definitions for incur that I've seen before include "Provoke" , "Fall liable to" , "Bring something unpleasant on oneself (5)" , "Enter into" , "contract" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
