A startling cancer statistic.

[sword_]

Was reading wikipedia and some other sites on cancer and saw this:

The improved understanding of molecular biology and cellular biology due to cancer research has led to a number of new treatments for cancer since U.S. President Nixon declared the "War on Cancer" in 1971. Since then, the U.S. has spent over $200 billion on cancer research, including resources from the public and private sectors and foundations.[182] During that time, the country has seen a five percent decrease in the cancer death rate (adjusting for size and age of the population) between 1950 and 2005.

That's pretty pathetic IMO considering how much money we put into research.

That just goes to show you how far along we have to come to find a "cure" for cancer...whatever that may be.

It's all just a business. If they really wanted to cure cancer they could do it

edit: I didn't say they could cure it immediately like magic, I'm saying that if they found a solution they probably wouldn't give it to people right away because everything revolves around profits

[PuTangSlayer]

I believe there is one, and if there is one, it's fuked up not letting the kids have it.

My mate swears by cannibus oil.

Just found out i have a skin cancer but it's in the early stages so doc says they should be able to cut that schit out.

Fingers crossed that 5% gon save my life cuz

Most people don't die from cancer its actually the side effects of chemo. Chemo kills healthy cells too plus lowers your immune system get an infection and boom done.

i don't want to believe it but i think this may be true

wtf how did you find out/know anything was wrong?

This. Cancer isn't a 'disease' like an infection. To find a 'cure' you'd have to understand how these genetic and cellular mutations occur and find an effectively way to perform some sort of cellular control to stop this sort of error. Easier said than done.

brah, ive got a dermatologist appointment set up for next week cause Im pretty sure Ive got some skin cancer. srs. where is yours at?

[ideadlift1k]

If there was a cure, goodbye profits.. Sad but true.

damn brah, how did you know you had cancer? what were the signs?

[lced]

wtf how did you find out/know anything was wrong?

it's on my dick and i get an std check regularly. they did a small operation to take a sample of it and send it in for testing and turns out theyre cancerous cells. I've got surgery some time within the next 3weeks then wont be able to fuk til the stitches dissolve which apparently takes another 3weeks. I have confidence i'll find an elaborate way to fap without risking the stitches though so dont worry m8

edit: started with a pen sized black/brown spot which spread to about the size of a small coin over the course of a few months.

scary thing is that there are people out there who actually think this

I had a strange thing on my skin too applied some retin a cream and burned it right off don't know if it was skin cancer never went to dermatologist but its gone now.

[soon2bejoocy]

this

brb all world scientists who dedicate their life to this all in on some consipiracy

[Blakliffy]

But look at how many more things help delevop cancer now compared to before.

diets have gotten worse

processed food is way higher in consumption

smoking has gone up

exposure to harmful chemicals on a daily basis

lots of chit

i wish they put more effort into helping with eating disorders, your almost as likely to die from an eating an eating disorder as breast cancer, I am pretty sure the research budget is only like 1-5 million a year

That's true. Do you think smoking has gone up though? I laugh at so many of my coworkers with e-cigs now.

There's a LOT of funding for breast cancer but hardly for other cancers (e.g. testicular, lung, brain, etc).

But you have a point.

lol at the people who think that cancer cannot be beaten naturally (because it can). Diet alone can be enough to beat most cancers. Steve Jobs had the worst cancer possible, pancreatic cancer and lived 7 years through natural and alternative methods and died shortly after starting chemo.

[lced]

thanks for kind words brahs, will rep yas tomorrow when im off charge.

also @postmove GL with the appointment cuz, hope everything turns out all good

lol wut ? Don't think so

Where is your peer reviewed evidence?

[Blakliffy]

That's true. Do you think smoking has gone up though?

Compared to the amount of people smoking in 1950-60, i'd say so.

yeah when My grandad was blown up by a landmine in Vietnam and lost both his legs he was really down but then he started thinking happy thoughts and his legs grew back and now he Is usain bolt. Natural remedies work srs.

[DazedNdConfused]

Keep in mind these were terminal cancer patients.

. A consistent finding in these patients was the disappearance of pain within the initial 3 days of Cs-treatment. The small number of autopsies made showed the absence of cancer cells in most cases and the clinical impression indicates a remarkably successful outcome of treatment.

Good luck to you man.

I can only assume that there is a cure. Like someone previously mention, it's a business. They make too much money from all the fundraising and charities.

[TheJediBrah]

no it has decreased quite significantly largely thanks to health promotion campaigns and plain packaging etc

[Blakliffy]

Percentage-wise maybe, but our population has probably grown a lot as well, the percentage although may be lower I think the actual number of people with cancer can still be larger.

This is all a bro-estimation though.

You'll be fine man

You really don't have an idea how cancer works dude. It's your body making a genetic failure.

Cancer is ultimately the result of cells that uncontrollably grow and do not die. Normal cells in the body follow an orderly path of growth, division, and death. Programmed cell death is called apoptosis, and when this process breaks down, cancer begins to form. Unlike regular cells, cancer cells do not experience programmatic death and instead continue to grow and divide. This leads to a mass of abnormal cells that grows out of control.

Think of The Matrix when Agent Smith was supposed to die and knew he was supposed to, but he decided to not do it. This caused a problem and he grew out of control.

A malignant cell tumor does this and the body cannot identify whether or not that cell is good or bad. It is out of control and unregulated. We don't have the technology yet to combat that.

Why would you want a public cure to cancer if its a multi billion dollar industry? Many people would be out of jobs. It's a business. $$$$ > peoples lives
