Excuse me professor! I have a question. This new procedure is a wonderful breakthrough. I am certain that thousands...millions will benefit. However, what causes the cancer in the first place?
Sin...............
The most common thing is genetic mutation caused by ambient or natural, background radiation.
“However, what causes the cancer in the first place?”
Age, toxins, bad luck, simply human biology.
“Tumors are one thing but what is it that causes the nanotubes to seek out cancer cells?”
There are a number of methods already used to select cells for everything from targetting to drug delivery. The method varies from purpose to purpose, and it’s likely that cells from each individual’s cancer will be analysed to determine how to target those cells. Most of the technology to do this already exists in its basic form and has been used for other forms of treatment, it’s a matter of refinement and demonstrating effectiveness in human trials. There is every reason to believe this method has more across-the-board promise than most anything else out there.
Most likely many factors. Anything that causes alteration of cells, or lowers your immunity. The most often overlooked factor is diet.
CO2 induced global warming. Al Gore and the IPCC said so, so it must be true.

From every thing that I’ve read you just need to select your parents well.
There are are controllable factors. In the case of liver cancer, over consumption of alcohol is one of these.
But your best bet is just to pick you parents carefully. Same is true of heart disease.
