Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.
Comment preview: Did you know that cancer is not one disease? There are so many different types of cancer that affect different parts of the body and do it in a different way. This makes "curing" cancer almost impossible in the conventional way. There is never going to be ....
Comment preview: SO LE FUCKING BRAVE RON PAUL CARL SAGAN GOD IS FAKE WEED IS CURE CANCER UPTOEKS UPVOATS GIVE THEM TO ME HELP CANCERSO LE FUCKING BRAVE RON PAUL CARL SAGAN GOD IS FAKE WEED IS CURE CANCER UPTOEKS UPVOATS GIVE THEM TO ME HELP CANCERSO LE FUCKING BRAVE RON PA ....
Comment preview: Good question, but there are already a number of cancers that have a complete cure. Obviously most cancers can be cured if they are caught early enough. But catching cancer early is hard to do consistently, and curing advanced cancers is much more challe ....
Comment preview: Because they seem to be much less concerned with finding a cure for cancer as they are making a profit on their own. To begin, they sue every cancer agency that uses the phrase "For a cure." They trademarked the phrase, and if a little not for profit cance ....
Comment preview: As someone who does cancer research, this is infuriating. 1) "cancer" is the most general term in science, which means... 2) it is highly unlikely that all "cancers" will be cured in a one off treatment; if anything, you'll hear something like "melanoma cu ....
Comment preview: That there is a cure for cancer and pharmaceutical companies are not releasing it because they would lose a lot of money. What a fucking joke? When people tell me that, I normally follow with "OH really, what type of cancer?" And they say something like ....
Comment preview: There are no cures. The latter is simply not true. If you had the cure for cancer you basically just found a donkey who shits gold. Well actually a whole fucking stable full of donkeys doing nothing else but evacuating their auric bowels all day long. Even ....
Comment preview: The thing about a "cure for cancer" is that's it's so general that the entire thought process behind it is flawed from the start. Saying we need a "cure for cancer" is similar to saying we need a "cure for disease". Though the end result of cancer is the s ....
Comment preview: Maybe I can clarify why you are getting down votes. (not from me, this is a very good presentation of your views.) I have been through treatment for stage IV cancer. The majority of time comments like this come up it's either about how marijuana can cure c ....
Comment preview: Scientist here. We haven't cured cancer, but we have cured MODELS of cancer. Scientists will often use MODELS of cancer, because there are so many types of cancer. For example, we will take a biopsy of a live person's breast cancer tumor, throw it in a dis ....
Comment preview: If a pharmaceutical company had a cure for cancer (it's laughable to even think of it as a singular disease but we'll go with it for the sake of this conversation) it would patent it, sell it and make unimaginable amounts of money. They could charge whate ....
Comment preview: As a pediatric cancer survivor who buried a lot of friends, nothing would make me happier, but cancer isn't one disease, it's thousands of them, and "curing" it at a universal level means a profound blurring of the lines between us and our technology. Canc ....
Comment preview: My oncologist has told me that the point of many cancer treatments is to prolong your life so that you don't die from the disease, i.e. the cancer becomes a chronic underlying condition. That is, you may never be cured of cancer, but you'll die of somethin ....
Comment preview: I'm also an oncologist, but doing research in big pharma: False accusation: we're keeping the cure for cancer under wraps because lifetime treatments are so much more profitable. The truth: cancer is a fucking impossible disease, and people have had their ....
Comment preview: Cancer biologist here. It's not the miracle cure for cancer. It will be A miracle cure for some people's cancer, but it will be totally ineffective for large numbers of people. It's not hugely groudbreaking, it's basically following up on work on the CT ....
Comment preview: The word cure can't be found in NONE of these studies. Most only show a negative effect on cancer cells, like many other substances have and never even reach human trials. Second, there are between 100 to 200 types of cancer (depending on how u do the clas ....
Comment preview: I hate when people use the phrase "cure for cancer." On the surface it doesn't mean much, but I think it highlights a deeper misunderstanding of cancer and all of science in general. I think when uneducated people use the word "cure," they picture researc ....
Comment preview: I'm a daily potsmoker, and I also happen to work at a cancer molecular imaging lab at a Top 5 ranked school I've had experience in labs focusing on various neural tumor lines (gliomas, blastomas), and currently, I'm running experiments on motility and over ....
Comment preview: I hate when this shit pops up. I work in a cancer research lab as a biomedical engineer, and its so naive and childish to think marijuana cures cancer. This question pops up on r/science all the time, and it's debunked time and time again. Cancer as a dise ....
Comment preview: In the lab, when the desired results are achieved, it is often due to the fact that the experiment is under very controlled circumstances and all the variables are known and accounted for. When these "cures" are introduced into the human body, there are a ....
Comment preview: SGK died in the 80s. The charity that has her name is run and was founded by, her younger sister Nancy Brinker. Nancy drew a salary of $684,000 last year. I'll leave that up to you to decide if it's fair or not. The main issue that people have with the ....
Comment preview: >What might your children have accomplished? A cure for cancer? a powerful leader? This argument has never made any sense to me. A woman has around 400 eggs mature in a lifetime, each one of which, if fertilized, would be a genetically unique individua ....
Comment preview: I spoke to someone recently who insisted that treatment for cancer like chemo and radiation are evil and they poison the body (which I accepted can be seen as true for chemo, it's just that you're "poisoning" both the body and cancer in hopes that the canc ....
Comment preview: A lot of people seem to believe that cancer is a single disease which just occurs in different parts of the body. And a lot of people think that the goal is to find a magic-bullet style "cure for cancer". Cancer isn't a single disease, it's a whole load of ....
Comment preview: All these bullshit cures for cancer. I'm fighting cancer, i'm undergoing chemo, although it's unlikely to stick and work, so i would love a cure for cancer, and i know there's so many alternative or supportive treatments that could work with my chemo (lik ....
