Last month there was a study that put the cure for cancer worth $50t for the US alone. You would think they would *AT LEAST* give a few labs $1b a piece to work on this breakthough.
The cure is actually worth NEGATIVE dollars unless it is some complex treatment that can only be given here, and even then patents run out and it will kill an entire industry a few decades hence. Even in the present, third world poor countries with loose patent laws will replicate it and offer it for cheap, anyone wanting it can just travel there and get it in the black market or maybe even the official market for cheap... again death of the entire oncological industry and lots of oncologists out of job.
R #1 says such an assay would face the serious technical difficulty of the need for autologous tumors. I think the point being, that if it's not an autologous tumor, of course the leukocytes will attack it, and the other point being, if it is an autologous tumor, then apparently the leukocytes aren't working anyway. (Didn't get around to my question D.) So as far as he knows, this hasn't been done.
Mutations could be induced with carcinogens.
Cui's group has used the phrase "cure for cancer" and though I think the work holds great promise, that is incredibly premature. The results in mice are an impressive start but a lot more tests need to be done
The same phenomena found in the mice appears to occur in humans according to some sources[don't know the veracity].
Then researchers conducted an informal study of 100 human volunteers. They made a startling discovery that, so far, has been downplayed.
Some people exhibit weak immunity against cancer, while the vast majority have average immunity. But a very small number of people exhibit the same vigorous ability to kill cancer cells as the cancer-proof mice in the laboratory. White blood cells taken from some participants killed close to 97 per cent of the cancer cells in 24 hours, while samples from others killed only two per cent.
Cancer-proof humans exist!! Why this discovery isn't making headline news across the globe goes unexplained. The major news story, and scientific discovery, is being buried.-link
In any case I do know of cases of people who worked for decades in offices so thick in smoke you could barely see, yet remained cancer free for life. I also know of people who liked to burn their food and ate highly black burnt(carcinogen rich) food for decades and remained cancer free for life. There's also the following
For example, many people in the New England Centenarian Study experienced a century free of cancer or heart disease despite smoking as many as 60 cigarettes a day for 50 years.-wiki
