Cure for cancer

[-] philpo@feddit.de 9 points 6 months ago

The problem is that there is not one cancer. But a myriad of cancers. That is the actual problem.

[-] stoy@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 months ago

Same goes for the common cold....

[-] philpo@feddit.de 1 points 6 months ago

Yeah, and better don't tell people that coronaviridae are a big part of that - long before SARS_CoV_2/Covid_19.

Yeah. Cancer is more of a name for a condition than it is a specific disease. There will never be a single cure for this entire category of diseases.
