>cancer research (since 1970s): trillions of dollars spent>not yet “cured.”lmao
>>16809680cancer isn't a disease, it's thousands of different diseases with the same name. also curing cancer would also cure death by old age, which is a big deal
>>16809685>cancer would also cure death by old agelol no
>>16809680Curing cancer is an authoritarian nightmare. Think of all the fascist death squads being forced into your body against its will to commit literal war against the poor cancer cells who are just gay hairdressers trying to help the community.
>>16809685Curing cancer only means curing about 30% of the aging process. There are plenty of other aging-associated diseases. The survival rates for most cancers are high enough now that I'd say we're a little over half way to all cancers having cures.
>>16809680doctors needed more money to cure it please trust is bro
>>16809699>cure>vaccineyou tried glow nigger
>>16809692>>16809712most cures for old age cause cancer. you can't enlarge your telomeres because telomerase causes cancer, for example.getting old is a side effect of all the mechanisms that the body has to fight cancer. if cancer didn't exist, your body wouldn't need to get old
>>16809753Not really. Senolytics are getting developed as chemos a lot. If you look at Yamanaka factors, they'll upregulate GST family enzymes that cause chemoresistance, but there are plenty of non-carcinogenic small molecules, so it's only a problem if you're on chemo.
>>16809680It's simple: a strong immune system causes autoimmune diseases, a weak immune system causes cancer. Both of them are terrible. So, that leaves us only one solution: to replace the immune system with a new and improved one, and good luck with that.
>>16809863Easy. Nanobots.
>>16809680Cancer is cured but it will never be mainstream because "treating" cancer patients is the more profitable route
>>16809863Easy. Analbots.
>>16809882it would be anti semitic for white blood cells to cure cancer chud.
>>16809680It applies to all diseases.There hasn't been a single cure for over half a century even through trillions have gone into the industry.
>>16809680Mie was cured, 10 years ago.
>>16809685Yes cancer is the only cause of death. Nice one retard.
