yep, all those cancer cures somehow slipped out despite our best efforts to keep them secret.
c'mon, let's be real. The folks who try to develop new treatments are people with family members and friends who get sick too. The reason we struggle for cures is that it's hard!!!
- dredmorbius 9y agoCancer cures are decidedly spotty. First, "cancer" isn't one single disease, it's a symptom complex with numerous etiologies. Some of those are now well-managed -- tunerculin baccilli for yreatment of bladder cancer, say. Others have seen no progress in 50+ years and continue to have exceptionally poor prognosis. The biggest advances in medical outcomes are virtually all based on public health, preventive measures, and improved access to fundamental care.
