It has the potential to do away with chemotherapy, surgery and radiation treatment.
I read that as: Will never reach the market because it threatens a multibillion dollar industry.
But srsly, glioblastoma is a really nasty motherfucker with a very low patient survival rate, so if they've really managed to cure it that's a huge milestone.
Any cancer? How does this work with people who have gene mutations that suppress cancer-fighting defence systems.
Conservatives will somehow find a way to level this as devil worshiping blasphemy and let their children die of brain cancer instead.
I'm gonna be watching with popcorn when anti-vaxxers get cancer and definitely 100% will take this vaccine.
I mean, if it's true and not just shit science reporting that I assume it is.
CIA hitmen:
What is the catch?
We'll find out in 30 years
It causes cancer.
Besides that, I assume it comes at the cost of...unintended consequences for the body
As all medicines do, we still take medicine because it's good for us in most situations when needed.
The ol’ cure the disease by killing the patient technique. Classic
"It's not a tumor!!!!"
Rfk is about to wake up and fire everyone doing this research.
When we say "healthcare" we mean caring for the health of healthcare corporations.
Previous research has focused more on homing in on a target or tailoring a vaccine specific to a patient's own cancer profile.
"This study suggests a third emerging paradigm," said study co-author Duane Mitchell, MD. "What we found is by using a vaccine designed not to target cancer specifically but rather to stimulate a strong immunologic response, we could elicit a very strong anticancer reaction. And so this has significant potential to be broadly used across cancer patients – even possibly leading us to an off-the-shelf cancer vaccine."
So... Kinda triggering your own auto-inmune response. But I'd be wary of trouble with overtly aggressive auto-inmune responses, as we already have quite a few diseases coming from these, as well.
I guess if I was gonna die and absolutely wanted more time I would make the trade off for living with lupus
As someone with an autoimmune disorder, I'm honestly not all that sold on whether that's a good tradeoff.
Yay, you're not acutely dying of cancer, but now your body is attacking your internal organs and depending on how shitty your luck is, you can eg. look forward to liver and/or kidney transplants (possibly more than once, too)
living with lupus
Multiple Sclerosis comes to mind
This sounds like the intro plot to one of those zombie movies...
Because Hollywood is so insanely bad at portraying science even remotely accurately, literally everything sounds like the plot to a zombie movie.
I'm not even kidding, I'm not in the biotech field and even I feel my eye twitch every time I see a movie with zombified lab animals smacking into the bars of their cages as the plucky heroes try to unravel what vile sins against nature those evil researchers uncovered in their hubris.
Superbugs are gonna look like regular bugs.
Hopefully, the researchers will be fully employed by the EU. I wouldn't trust the US to not fuck up this miracle.
I can't want to never hear about this again
