These cancer “game-changer” therapy stories come up once or twice a year. Usually, they’re not heard from again.

That said, some of them do pan out. Cancer is far more survivable today than it was thirty years ago.

Usually, the “game-changer” stories are so early in the testing that most of the results are still hypothetical. This one has been approved, which means it’s gotten through all that testing already.

Precisely! I'm dubious as to whether this will be effective against cancer, but it looks very promising for keeping the grant money flowing.

certain forms are. generally the child leukemias. otherwise stats havent changed that much for those doing the traditional chemo/radiation treatments. the “new” therapies actually are following the type of treatments alternative med using ntural compounds and approaches that targetonly the cancer and boost’the immune system.

chemo and radiation shoot the hostages and the terrorists and hope the hostages survive and no terrorists survive, which they always do, and then they come back stronger and more aggressive because the immune system is so much weaker.

Only really in early stage- later stages the odds of success aren’t too much improved I don’t think- I could be wrong
