That’s not good enough for cancer because we dont even know how fast or slow it grows. Even if it cancer cells multiplied at the rate of a fetus that would be too fast for an annual physical. Congratulations, death.
Ideally something like a wearable computer or nanomachines in your blood stream automatically report anomalies for individualized treatment.
- danuker 5y ago> Even if cancer cells multiplied at the rate of a fetus I suspect at least some cancers multiply slower than that, because they work against the rest of the cells.
- dryrun 5y agoGiven the amount of "I don't want bill gates injecting me a tracker!", I have some idea of how a conversation with the same people about nano machines in their body would go. I would also bet on the time-frame between this and the availability of your data on the servers of your health insurance.
- vmception 5y agoNot my problem, human cancers stay in there own bodies and are not communicable To our knowledge
- jacquesm 5y agoNot normally, no. But there are some puzzling exceptions: https://www.discovermagazine.com/health/the-cancers-that-are-contagious https://www.discovermagazine.com/health/the-cancers-that-are...
- vmception 5y agoThese are all in animals and I specified human cancers for that specific reason, thanks for the article though, I only knew about the Tasmanian Devil one
- jacquesm 5y agoYes, correct. But there are also some viruses that cause cancer that can spread from human to human (HPV for instance, the cause of cervical cancer), and the case of that doctor is some proof that at least in theory cancer can spread by blood or tissue contact.
- vmception 5y agoYeah got vaxxed against that, fingers crossed
