Breast Cancer Vaccine May Only Be Five Years Away
Stories about optimism related to cures and effective prevention for cancers make me happy.
There are trials going on now involving vaccines that may be effective against cervical cancer and brain cancer. A five year study with the goal of doing the same for breast cancer is underway as well.
A cure for cancer would be greeted with celebration largely because of all the human suffering that it would prevent. That pretty much goes without saying.
I look forward to seeing a cure for cancer for other reasons. Once there is a real cure or prevention, the huge sums of money and the wealth of talented scientists can be diverted to other problems. I do not endorse this exhaustive condemnation of The Cancer Business. I can’t even take the time to read the whole thing right now. I am just linking to it as an example of someone’s concern at the size of the industry that is devoted to cancer.
Edit: I read some more of the Cancer Business. The author is a wing nut. I will leave the link in my post. Please limit the grains of salt with which you take the article. Excess sodium intake has been linked to stomach cancer.
