Will the human race find a cure for cancer?

[Turbo Slayer]

Cancer is devastating.

Hopefully, we can fully eradicate cancer.

idk

[ROCSteady]

You know we already have that

[dude77]

yes they already have that .. but it's not good for business so the lowly masses aren't getting a whiff .. let's just keep treating it

[Long Duck Dong]

I've always assumed cancer was a product of evolution. If "the cure" for cancer involves some sort of pretreatment, I wonder how it will affect human evolution.

Edit: Of course the world IQ is dropping, not rising so fvck evolution I guess.

Close, cancer is a product of mutation which is evolution on a shorter timescale.

Your thoughts on "pre-treatment" are the correct line of thinking as well. Chronic inflammation is the most common cause of non-genetic cancers. Avoid/reduce inflammation to reduce your risk of cancer, but if it's written in your genes that you're f'd you can't fight destiny.

That means reduce:
-stress
-smoking
-obesity
-alcohol
-any other irritants

then hope cancer doesn't run in your family.

well said -

we all carry something called Cancer / but its what are bodies do with it.
My father died from smoking
My step father died from it as well (lived to be 91)
My father in law is on hospice drank like a tank and smoked like a chain.
My mother in law ditto / when she coughs you think her guts are turning inside out, and they look like 100 because of all the rum and smokin.
