Really interesting article.
Cancer is definitely shapeshifting and it's a constant battle on all fronts.
One drug may work now (eg. anti folates) but then remission fails and it's back to the fight.
The primary tumor may go into semi-remission but mestasis may happen then you have to treat that instead.
The tumors suck so much energy from the person's body so it can attack on that front too.
I think immunotherapy is the future and am really sad that it is so expensive. It's like Elysium, Keytruda is ~$400k it's sad how costly these drugs are.
I think diet, environment, and habit are the things that have the most effect over time because it's really just your cells multiplying in an uncontrollable rate and the body cannot stop the function or the garbage collectors are unable to make the cell perform aptosis.
There are many things that go in and out of your body over time that will help increase or decrease the amount of these types of cells that are produced.
