“Take the pill.”
I’m neither disputing nor endorsing the stats here, but if oncologists start adopting a general view of “you’ve got advanced tumors so don’t even bother trying anything” then there will *never* be any progress against advanced tumors. Any sort of progress against any sort of cancers at any stage has been the result of trial and error. If you stop trying, well, then game over. Maybe that’s their goal, though.
Jab a jabba do did the trick.?
Everybody sick
Joker Joe is such a ____.
I bet you if they find a tumor in Biden (or any other high-profile leftist), the medical community would do everything they could to prolong life.
What I want to know is why so many people are getting cancer today which seems to have shot up after the Biden domestic enemy criminal regime mandated the Fauci shot. Every month it seems like another person I am acquainted with dies of cancer.
No treatment for YOU, turbo cancer patients.

That’s why a lot of Canadians come to the US for diagnostic imaging. If they wait on their single-payer system they’ll run out of time.
JAMA is totally woke, and IMHO, would like people to choose euthanasia to remove the burden of care for cancer victims, especially older ones. Just so happens that that falls right in line with globalist agenda.
Truth is... All cancer treatments are designed to just kick the can down the road as long as possible. Means more office visits, testing, treatments, pharma, insurance profits, Etc.
My wife is going through it right now. I am nailing them left and right with these tactics designed to prolong for profit rather than actually do any timely permanent substantial good.
Every time we have a chance to get jump on it, they purposely throw it right back to the beginning. Even if it means purposely rescheduling treatments so that the continuity and effectiveness is disrupted.
The system is no longer designed to actually cure folks, it is all about little tricks that extend it to profit from it as much as possible until you are gone and they can’t anymore.
If anyone is delusioned into thinking they actually care about you, better just throw that thought away. They all part of a euthanasia cult and all they care about is manipulating it to extend your death as long as possible to make as much as they can before you go.
But the end goal is that you do indeed go... There is no profit is actually curing people... So killing you slowly kills two birds with one stone. Population control and profit doing it. No one else see this reality?
“”We wanted to find out if oncologic treatment of very advanced tumors is associated with improved survival or if there are times when it’s futile to continue care and instead oncologists should shift focus to palliative and supportive care,””
Death panels. This is the single payer national healthcare mentality. Medical treatment swaps from being a profit center into a cost center. And then their only thought is saving money. And THAT means “what services can I get away with cutting?”.
“Doctors could best help patients by better judging when additional therapy will be futile and communicate that through a discussion of goals of care near the end of life, researchers concluded.”
How many buzzwords can I pack into one sentence?
“Doctors could best help patients by better judging when additional therapy will be futile and communicate that through a discussion of goals of care near the end of life, researchers concluded.”
Absolutely the right approach.
And I have metastatic cancer.
My father was 93 when diagnosed with bladder cancer. He declined chemo and radiation therapy and lived his last six months relatively comfortably. My sister was diagnosed with lung cancer in her early sixties and underwent the whole gamut of treatment and while it was very difficult - to understate - she is still alive and well and thriving. It is a quality of life decision.
If you live in Canada they’ll knock you off for a migraine
Sadly, this push to stop treatment is nothing new. It’s been happening for many years. While some doctors are willing to try anything, some doctors encourage their patients to give up, even pushing patients into hospice. And now, with assisted suicide legalized in some states, it’s not hard to believe that some doctors might encourage suicide.
There’s quite a bit of dark humor in medicine. One timeless joke is “why do funeral homes nail coffins shut? To keep oncologists from giving another round of chemo, of course! An alternative punchline is “to keep the nephrologist from giving another round of dialysis”
“Cutting-edge cancer treatments are essentially useless for patients barely clinging to life”
But they’re very profitable.
