For whatever reason, cancer cells trick the body into not attacking and quickly destroying them. Medical science is working on that approach now with very positive prospects it seems.

“According to Informa Pharma Intelligence, a market research firm, there are currently 87 experimental therapies in clinical trials that target glioblastoma. Some drugs are vaccines, some involve gene therapy, some activate the immune system to fight the cancer, and some rely on monoclonal antibodies.”

The point of the article is that there is hope for potential effective treatments.

Nobody gets out alive. McCain wasn’t ancient but he was old and lived a long life. Way too long in the Senate however.

There have been promising trials in immunotherapy. Just being able to strip the cancer cells of their invisibility to the body’s immune system and thus be subject to attack by it, looks like it will be a major step forward in cancer treatment.

“Some people live longer, many live shorter,” he observes. “At the end of the day, there are very, very few long-term survivors.”

They act like some day we can live forever thanks to modern medicine.

Well, thank God because we all will live forever and He gave us the option of doing so so in a far better place.

That one and pancreatic are aggressive as hell. I’m surprised McCain lasted this long. I hope they find a cure...I wish I had back my two friends that quickly died if them,
