It's not, but it's far from proven technology. Additionally, it's the exact opposite of most medical research - fairly inexpensive to develop (a few millions USD total), but also with very little profit upside on the other end.
- lucaspiller 10y agoI wonder how many other potential medical treatments fall into this category. If a treatment was found that cured a large percentage of cancers, but was 'too cheap' to develop, would the same thing happen?
- sleepychu 10y agoI think cancer would be a special case. Just because being the ones who came up with a cancer cure would be worth the small investment. Of course the criteria are likely to preclude a cancer treatment!
