Cancer: Will it ever be cured?

With these life-threatening diseases killing millions, you'd think they'd try a bit harder with this shit.

Not just cancer, either, HIV and AIDS.

All this is ruining lives.

Yeah, cancer researchers are just not trying hard enough. Those assholes! All our blood is on their hands!!!

Cancer is not a single condition, so the main question is akin to "will infections ever be cured"? It's safe to say they won't.

However, there is a chance that Cancer might become so rare that it's much less imporant when it comes to life treatening conditions. Only time will tell.

Eh, I know. But when people refer to it, its usually just said as "cured cancer", as opposed to "cured liver cancer".

Its vague.

However, it'd be nice if we didn't have to worry about such things killing us early and such. I'd rather have my head chopped off then be a walking death sentence.

Conspiracy theories aside, i keep hearing of progress being made on an annual basis, but, yes, a solid "we did it" would be pretty great.

Well I do think when it comes to HIV as long as you have the right drugs you can more or less keep the disease at bay and live mostly a normal life. Though the drugs are apparently quite expensive.

I don't think we'll ever cure cancer as a whole, but I'm sure we'll come up with safer and better ways to treat it.

Sure.

Heck, here's some simple* ways: Upload your brain into a robotic form. Or transfer your mental pattern to a cancer-free cloned body.

*Simple and easy, not always synonyms.

Sounds good, I choose this robotic form:

This robot runs on a combination of electricity and the souls of orphaned children.

I'll parrot Bentley a bit. Cancer is literally hundreds of potential conditions. It's an umbrella term.

Several are treatable now, and many people see a full recovery. So the answer to the OP's question, in a broad sense, is yes. We've seen it cured already; just not all the time and with each type.

Lol.

Part of why we see the increase is A. we're better at diagnosing things, and B. people are living longer. The fact that we see cancer more often is, ironically, a bit of an endorsement for the progress made collectively by health care in the country/world.

It's terrible, but certainly something that is being worked on.

It will never be cured. They will develop better treatments tho. Cause if you can keep treating it, then you can keep making MONEY from it.

The cure for cancer was discovered decades ago by US scientists- it was ordered buried by the Government to help stem overpopulation.

Cuckolds like Digi are basically paid/encouraged to deflect suspicion.

^^^and there's one conspiracy theory i've heard.

I wondering when this cancer will ever be cured.

Was dating a girl who had AIDS, which is why I made this thread.

I know, pure idiocy to ask on KMC if cancer or HIV will ever be cured, but eh.

tbh, I think if you read the thread it may have given you some information particularly in regards to how cancer and cancer research works, so it was not a stupid idea to make the thread, you just have to absorb the information now.

Yeah, you had an honest question, and a place to ask it. Nothing wrong with that.

Did our replies came out as condescending? I'm sorry if it came out that way. I did not say anything in particular about HIV because I'm not informed enough about the current threatments, but as someone who has cancer patients in their family, I am aware of some of the realities of the lack of particular treatments and risks of those therapies.

HIV is getting much closer to a cure, or at least a vaccine. There's promising candidates undergoing testing.

One thing about cancer is too often generic 'cancer' is used, when really, 'a cancer' is more proper. Cancer is massively varied and different cancers respond to different stuff very different. It's really a class of illness rather than one illness. So that's difficult. Some individual cancers are much easier, some harder.

One particularly unusual treatment is using modified HIV cells to fight some cancers by modifying white blood cells to go after it.

Cancer is curable my friends...it's always been...just research into B17 vitamin (Amygdalin), natural veggie juicing and fermented foods 😉
