Possible cure for cancer discovered

[Exterminator]

We all know how many people die from cancer a day, more than you meet in your whole life!
But that could change VERY soon(and i mean 2020 soon)

a new drug called immucin is being developed, all test subjects suffering from blood cancer shown a great amount of multiplied invulnerablity after the pill, 3/7 are cured!
The company claims that it may also work on many other kinds of cancers(Im too lazy to list them all, but 90 percent of all cancers). Even many tumours resistant to best medicines can be taken down with this!

Instead of attacking cancer cells, it harnesses power of the immune system to fight cancer!
The drug focuses on a protein known as MUC1 that is in larger amount in cancer cells as opposed to healthy ones. The sugar that attatches itself to the protein is very distinct, the vaccine finds that shape and OBLITERATES the cancer out of it.

Ofc till now its been tested on only 7 people suffering with blood cancer, but if the drug goes well(its having funding problems right now tho, BOO). If large scale human tests can be started soon enough, we might aswell have this available VERY cheap and in the market by 2020
also the only side effect to the drug, observed in the last 3 years is IRRITATION!

I wouldn't say as soon as whoever is saying 2020. Simply because the true effects of the drug would need to be seen over a period of time, mainly the side effects. I believe if this drug is to continue it will take many many more years to pass and become available.

So, it cures cancer and the side effect is PMS?


Excellent work, science. I hope this "project" will not dissapear in half a year without traces.

There already is a cure, it's a melted down version of weed that has been scientificly proven to get rid of the cells that cause cancer, although the government will NEVER allow a cure to be released because they make too much money on things that pro-long it like kemo theropy or however you spell it, if they cure the disease, there wont be anyone there with it to keep paying for pro-longing treatments.

Cancer is at the moment also cureable, but, in limit doses... My uncle is cured from cancer in his longs, asslong they discover it in time, they'll have a bigger chance to cure it with the actual medicalment treatment.

It's exactly the same story with AIDS.

It's exactly the same story with AIDS.

No. When you have AIDS, you die. There is absolutely no cure, at all, none, nil, zero.

You can control it, and reduce it's affect, but your life expectancy is reduced greatly.

...make too much money...

Uhhh, the NHS is free, as in you don't pay for any sort of cancer treatment, and government funded. They lose money from prolonged care, not make money from it. The only people making money from prolonged care are the private practises.
As for other countries, yes, they make money from it. But I doubt that the total cost of 6 months or more worth of treatment is crossing their mind before the life of the patient. Chemotherapy has to be given in "small" doses over a long time period. The treatment kills cells that multiply over a short period of time, this includes cancerous cells but also others such as those involved in the human digestive system, bone marrow cells and those responsible for hair growth. Chemotherapy is toxic, it it came about from 20th century chemical warfare technology, but it is effective.

Something tells me we won't be hearing very much from the developers and patients after some time.

Best possible cure for cancer is human will for survival and strength. Not saying that whoever dies of cancer simply didn't want to live and gave up. Also predicting the cancer at the early stage can be life-saving.

Something that is hard to do if medical bills are so damn expensive.

Cancerous cells are damaged/mutates cells, replicating at a fast rate. Weed will not cure it...
Chemotherapy targets fast-growing cells. This is why people's hair tends to fall out during this treatment. It is a violent therapy though...especially if there are no guarantees.

The best that can be done is to find symptoms as early as possible, so the cancerous growth does not have time to spread into areas such as the brain, or bone marrow.

If a person undertakes surgery to remove the cancer, there can be difficulties. For example:
- Brain tumours - removal could permanently damage someone's brain
- tumours on the spine - depending on position, effects could range from lack of leg control to being unable to breathe.
Also, if the whole tumour is not removed, it may come back. Normally, it returns more malignantly.

A possible cure would be amazing, but I dread to think what long-term effects on the body there are. It will take a long time to test, and ensure the risk is ALARA.

Its been tested for the past 3 years, and victims are still in tip top shape, 3 cured.
They only get irritated, but their cancer is cured.
When the vaccine doesnt find muc1, it dies automatically, the vaccine has successfully died in those who got cured.
