- GeeksSpeakFont, on 12/03/2008, -3/+17that's mindblowing... there will definitely have to be a lot more research!
- tj241, on 12/03/2008, -2/+13Wow - this sounds like it could be potentially big news!
- Brassbud, on 12/03/2008, -0/+7Another day, another supposed treatment.
The reality is the only way to fight cancer is to beat the living ***** out of yourself and hope you stay alive longer than your cancer. - inactive, on 12/03/2008, -0/+6"The reality is that cancer is an extraordinarily resourceful disease and every time there has been a new idea, people have seized on it to make it the big answer."
Yeah every time I hear somebody reference a "cure for cancer" I shake my head a little. From what I know, there are so many different types of cancers that follow so many different paths of development, I doubt there will ever be a one-size-fits-all cure. - DrewPeacock, on 12/03/2008, -1/+6Cancer is frightening.
- Brassbud, on 12/03/2008, -0/+4sounds like...could be...potentially
There are more conditions in this sentence than in a weight loss pill commercial. Studies show...over time...with the help of a doctor...may...possibly...help...reduce...chances. - inactive, on 12/03/2008, -5/+9Science is frightening
- jcaino, on 12/03/2008, -0/+4The good news is that this study does point to the possibility that this treatment would be viable for some type of cancers, not all. It's not really 'bad' news...just more data on a theory.
- howsyamaschooks, on 12/03/2008, -0/+3because they really don't know?
- Bith8654, on 12/04/2008, -0/+2What weight loss pill are you talking about? It sounds like it really works!
- DephexTwin, on 12/04/2008, -0/+2Lousy logic... thanks a lot.
- Dysarthria, on 12/04/2008, -0/+2Whatever, they're still villains .
- aslanbash, on 12/06/2008, -0/+1cancer cells is too complicated than which it is supposed.
http://www.dailycancernews.com - wiresaw, on 01/02/2009, -0/+1yeah,, Cancer is really dangerous..

- nullcodes, on 12/04/2008, -0/+1We need 4 major health Manhattan projects in order of difficulty .. each requiring double the current whole $25B NIH budget for five years :
1) Cure autoimmune diseases (selectively shut down self attacking immune cells .. already have some promising approaches)
2) Cure cancer (figure out how to cheaply sequence cancer genome for an individual's tumor then deploy drugs such as monoclonal antibodies or other drugs in combination therapy designed to prevent co-evolution against it -- currently not enough drugs exist so cancer can develop resistance and furthermore sequencing of a genome is very expensive)
3) Cure AIDS (figure out/improve methods to activate virus from reservoirs/provirus state)
4) Figure out how to regenerate organs and limbs/body parts (like how fetuses and salamanders etc. can .. since fetuses know how to do it (yes some ugly experiments on mammals have been done),, this means that limb regeneration "merely" involves activating the right genes, dealing with/breaking down scar tissue, and sending the correct signals) - ptFoe, on 12/04/2008, -0/+1I always thought it was Violent Video games.
That's what my friends @ Friends @ Fox news told me. - maz2331, on 12/04/2008, -0/+1Take off and nuke them from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

All jokes aside, cancer really is one of the worst scourges of all of humanity. Anything that advances the cure to this condition is good.
I mean, even war is less of a universal evil than cancer. Every year, more of us die from our own body's cells "going rogue" than from almost any other cause, including war and murder.
Death from cancer is the worst of all possible ways to go. I, personally, would rather go out hanged, drawn, quartered, and impaled than die from this horrible condition. NOBODY - and I do mean NOBODY deserves to die in this way. Even the worst criminal, terrorist, asshat, or whatever should never die from cancer. Not even Hitler, Stalin, Bush, bin Laden... regardless of all political, religious, economic, philosophical, or even whatever....
Cancer is, or should be, universally reviled.
Cure this affliction. Give a bounty equal to the entire world's GDP for a year to whoever does so. in a way that is simple, quick, and effective.
I say -- screw the war on drugs, screw the war on terror, screw the war on poverty, screw the war on EVERYTHING until we once and all win the war on cancer.
Okay, I've said my piece. - protyus, on 12/03/2008, -1/+150% of the time, it works ever time...
- toxsid, on 12/03/2008, -0/+0The mayan calendar ends that year, therefore because of logic, we all die.
- qxrt, on 12/04/2008, -0/+0Batcell! We need you! Half-Cell is taking over our city!
- Nostoc, on 12/04/2008, -0/+0I agree.
I've been studying molecular biology for a few years now, and I have exactly the same reaction you do when I see a journalist write about "cancer cure".
Most of the time, it's a researcher who made some kind of innovation in some kind of cancer treatment, and a journalist dubbed this as "cure for cancer". - veganrachel, on 12/04/2008, -0/+0This article illustrates perfectly why animal testing doesn't make sense--drugs and treatments are being developed based on a theory that applied to a mouse genetically engineered to grow cancer (the Onco-Mouse), and it turns out it doesn't apply to different mice. There are plenty of human cancer patients who would be willing to be a part of the research to find a cure.
- frozen74, on 12/03/2008, -6/+1what will happen in 2012
- hydr, on 12/03/2008, -8/+1Come on, how can anyone say that? They are worst than Sylar in Heroes...
- toxsid, on 12/03/2008, -9/+0who cares about cancer.....everyone knows the world ends in 2012.
