A cure for cancer? (news)
http://www.latimes.com/features/heal...la-home-health
"In the new study, the team took white blood cells from the immune mice ? a combination of natural killer cells, macrophages and neutrophils ? and injected them into mice already carrying a variety of tumors, some of which were extremely aggressive. In every case, the cancers were destroyed, even if the cells were injected at a point distant from the tumor. Healthy tissues were not affected. The mice that received the cells, furthermore, were protected from new tumors for the rest of their lives. The researchers have no idea how the immunity continues." My thoughts: It's still too early to tell if this will work on humans but ... as a person who's lost several loved ones to cancer, this is very exciting news. |

I've read about antigen-based systems that carry chemotherapy agents to cancer cells. Those don't work too well. Hopefully, this new approach will work better.

This is very exciting news! I hope it really leads to a cure. I didn't believe there could ever be a single cure for all cancers. This makes it seem possible.

That is phenominal story!!! I just hope that it leads to medical break-throughs in human cures for cancer.
Cancer is a form of population control so when and if they ever discover a cure for cancer it will probably cost so much that 80% of the general population wouldn't be able to afford it. |

I don't think this is a totally new idea but it's amzing that they are making it work.
There are some people that are immune to cancer. There's even some cases of people totally imune to HIV, no matter how much contamineted blood they received they never became HIV positive. |

hopefully this has potential but in the last 30 years there have been so many 'breakthroughs' that didn't pan out - the one i remember best is monoclonal antibodies - Time magazine cover story as the magic bullet for cancer.
if and when they cure cancer i will shed tears of joy and grief - sad that those who lost the battle missed out. i know the average age on GFY is quite young but once you get into your thirties you will inevitably begin to lose important people in your life to the beast that is cancer - no family these days remains untouched. i'm sure lots of people here under 30 have lost a parent, sibling or friend to cancer.

One serious flaw with this approach is that sometimes their drugs do impact on the symptoms, so they assume correct diagnosis. If the effect is minor, they try other drugs in the same family or change the dose, rather than continue to investigate. That has led to one member of my family being treated for "growing pains" and a brain tumor was eventually found to be the culprit. Another had neck and back pains diagnosed as stress, when she actually had a spinal problem. In both cases it was years before the real problems were discovered, by which time of course they were much worse. And perhaps I am looking at the past through rose-tinted glasses, but it seems to me that when I was younger, doctors were much more able to make diagnoses without batteries of expensive tests. Then we entered the age of test, test, test, the insurance company will pay, so perhaps diagnostic skills became less important. Now doctors are under pressure to limit the tests they do, but lack the ability of their predecessors to diagnose without them. Maybe that is another reason that drugs have become diagnostic tools. |

There have been cures for cancer in existence for a number of years...
Don't even believe that life is more important than money with the drug companies... Cancer is a multi-billion dollar a year business and will not go away anytime soon... |

According to the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, untargeted bio-medical research (ie play around and see what you find), returns $10-$16 for ever dollar spent. Of course, those aren't nearly sexy enough figures for the big pharmaceutical companies, so up to a point, they do take bigger risks in return for the promise of bigger rewards. About 20% of prescription costs goes on R&D, but that isn't quite the whole story. A large part of that money is spent, not on research to combat problems which do not already have a solution, but on finding ways to create drugs sufficiently different from successful drugs to be marketable alongside them. To put matters further into perspective, while the US government spent about $10 billion during the first decade it seriously tried to combat AIDS, the entire drug industry spent less than $3 billion on research. The market for AIDS drugs, despite their limited value, is now worth $17 billion a year. |

in my opinion I say they will only bring out a cure for something once just treating the disease is no longer profitable. In this case that will be a very, very long time. Honestly, how many actual cures for deadly diseases are there out there? Slim to none. It's all about selling people a medicine that allows them to live with the disease so they can keep making money off them. Once they are cured they lose their "return customer" and lose major $.

If this research doesn't lead to a dead end and actually makes it through phase III trials, the company that commercializes this technology would be ONE HELL OF A STOCK PICK. Anyone remember Genentech back in the 80s?

NEVER going to happen. there's WAY too much $ in it for pharms/hospitals to release an actual cure. the bling bling mentality of the planet would have to change before that ever happens

cancer is such a creepy and cunning thing that you can never say for sure - the cure is ready. You have to wait.
May be some people for the test are needed. But still hope is what people need. |

Here is some information (from the AARP website). "Thirty percent of Americans talk to their doctors about a specific drug they've seen advertised, and of these, 44 percent receive it". They continue: "Sales increases of the 50 most advertised drugs made up almost half of the growth in retail spending on prescription drugs... The 9,850 other drugs on the market accounted for the rest of the 12-month rise." How likely it is that almost half the people responding to a TV advert actually needed the drug they were subsequently prescribed? How likely is it that sales pattern is a accurate reflection of patients' illnesses? So do we have doctors prescribing (often powerful) drugs they know patients do not need or is only limited care being taken with (initial) diagnoses? |

Drug companies will always have drugs to sell and people to buy them, as we are a nation who desires the 'magic bullet'... But, think about this: There WAS a cure found for polio...well, not a cure, but a prevention..and small pox.....There are prevention vaccines for all kinds of diseases that plagued us.. So, the shift turns from treatment to prevention and billions will be made from that. How many people get chicken pox now? Or measles? Or diptheria? Or pertussis? There's money to be made from both sides of the fence and believe it....drug companies and the medicos will find a way. Someone said that years ago, doctors diagnosed without all that fancy equipment...well, yeah, they did, until America became so litigious, combined with the raping of Medicare..those WERE the golden days of medicine...when Medicare was an open artery of flowing money...when gerentology was a for-profit industry....and, let's not forget the indigent.... So, there will be cancers that are no longer worth treating...and cures or remissions will be possible...there's no money to be made in oat cell cancer of the lungs....or certain brain tumours....cystic fibrosis doesn't earn profits...look at the progress for diabetes...it's possible, in our lifetimes, there will be a transplant..the delivery systems are getting more and more sophisticated....diabetes is no longer profitable because the treatment costs are staggering, as diabetes is one of those diseases that affects every system and humans are not real compliant. On a lighter note, there is a huge serge in genetic research, locating certain markers...I foresee vaccines...there's a lot of money to be made in vaccinations.

ok... one time for all the fucking idiots who love the conspiracies, think the government is behind it, drug companies dont want a cure... or just don't have a clue.
there are many types of cancer. many ARE already curable. |

I once bought stock in a biotech that attached chemo agents to antibodies to target cancers. IMMU -- Immunomedics This form of therapy works well in a petri dish but not so hot in reality. Hopefully, this new gene-based innovation works out differently.
