I hate the way the media just report the press releases from drug companies
rather than actually check or question any of their massivley biased claims.

While I am not a scientist...
I do seem to remember being told that cancer could not be cured, for the same reason that the common cold could not be cured, too many varieties all of which would need separate cures etc etc.

It's a genetic mutation though
Surely that is common to all cancers?

I believe each cancerous event can be different in each patient
so the best current drugs are tailored to that individual

So everyone's cancer is special to them?
That's quite nice.

Yes....
but, and again I'm not a scientist, each cold is a virus, but they are all different.. I may be pushing the analogy too far here.

Does that mean I got a science right Mr Badger Sir?

( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Wed 25 Jan 2012, 14:10, Reply)

it's pretty much it, yeah.
I mean at the deepest level it's pointlessly complicated but "they're all different" is the best short explanation there is. Gold star.

I bow down to badger's knowledge in this matter
That was how it was explained to me
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Wed 25 Jan 2012, 14:18, Reply)

it the fact that cancerous cells are generally due to a genetic mutation of healthy cells
yes.

It's not the same genetic mutation every time though.
