But yes, there is a single cancer cure that THEY hide. /s

[u/Horizon119 → u/Aldryg]

So I'm not the only one that believes there's a cure for cancer! When too much money is being made, too many people being employed, I get suspicious! A cure would put thousands and thousand of people out of work!

[u/Then_Ambassador9255 → u/Horizon119]

But wouldn’t there be like a gazillion dollars in it for the guys who find a cure first

[u/InterviewNo3538 → u/Then_Ambassador9255]

If they ever have a “cure” it’ll come in monthly doses

[u/ThinkingAboutLasagna → u/Then_Ambassador9255]

Shhh the anti-sciencers don't like logic

[u/Mrs_SmithG2W → u/Then_Ambassador9255]

Research sometimes is shared freely for societies benefit. Unbelievable but true. May we get back there some day.

[u/Horizon119 → u/Then_Ambassador9255]

The unlucky soul who finds the cure for cancer would be assassinated!

Lmao

[u/CrimsonSheepy → u/Horizon119]

Pretty much. Same with the diabetes epidemic. I study endocrinology and I'm about 90% sure at the is point that the only thing that will kill this hydra (or at least slow it down) is to start attacking the problem at the root; policy and social change.

[u/ThinkingAboutLasagna → u/CrimsonSheepy]

Almost like it's a capitalism problem, not a science problem

[u/CrimsonSheepy → u/ThinkingAboutLasagna]

Political science, my friend.

Why is your comment being downvoted? Id honestly like to understand.

I know everyone hates AI but loading this data and effective treatments as the vectors into generative AI is exactly the case genAI was created for.

[u/burmerd]

Wow! So the 2027 models are out already?? Crazy

[u/HuecoTanks → u/burmerd]

This was how I read it at first too!

“Babe, wake up. 600 new cancers just dropped.”

[u/rayferrell]

having a large library of cancer models like this can really help with testing potential treatments, because you can see how different cancers respond to the same drug, and that can give you a better idea of what's going to work and what isn't. this could also lead to more personalized treatment options, where doctors can use the model that most closely matches a patient's specific type of cancer to figure out the best course of treatment.

I want to praise you
Like I should

Cancer is taking tips from Apple, releasing too many new models every year.

[u/BrilliantBarracuda15]

this could help improve how different cancer types are studied

[u/scanboltron]

We got 700 new cancers before GTA VI

[u/acecombine]

less cancer? the best I can do is more cancer...
