There is no single cure and never will be just one cure. Not all cancers develop from the same causes, and they all do not respond to the same treatments.
What will be developed is an understanding of what therapies are most effective against each type of cancer, both in general, and per individual.
There are things that work against a lot of cancers and there are things that work against very specific cancers only.
Universal things all patients will need to do is eat a diet right for their genetics. Further all will need to eliminate refined sugar and refined carbs from their diets in order to wipe cancer out.
Last year, they completed some study and said except for around four cancers....the rest are a fifty-fifty shot with your DNA and just plain luck. You could live any lifestyle you want....and your cancer odds are the same. Oddly, lung cancer was one of the four that you could live differently and avoid.
What would be great is to bring it down to a manageable “disease”. Might not be able to get rid of it...but to live a full life with minimal discomfort with medication...
No mention was made of drugs that cause cancer.
The Osteoporosis drug Foreto is Black Box labeled for Bone Cancer. Besides the FDA flagging of the drug for other health issues. In fact ALL OP drugs are FDA FLAGGED for those health issues.
Then there are the exceptions to the ‘rules’. My 2 aunts married 2 brothers, the MALE line carried the Breast Cancer gene. Thus when they had daughters they passed that gene to them, and they passed it hit and miss to their daughters and will pass hit and miss onto their daughters. They all go for genetic testing now. Breast Cancer does NOT run on our Grandmother’s or Grandfather’s side of the family. There were 6 girls. None of them developed Breast Cancer, but the daughters of the 2 who married brothers did hit and miss depending on the genetics each received from their fathers.
You forgot Florine and other chems we commonly use today we didn’t 30 yrs ago.
St Jude as been one of the biggest leader in cancer fighting we have seen.
More targeted treatments, are needed, rather than just the wide use of chemo or radiation. And each person needs their own attack plan as per their type of cancer.
