gftChris Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Don't hold your breath. ): Sound advice. Asphyxiation is not pretty. Did you read the trial regarding the herpes virus being used to treat skin cancer? Interesting stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHardBrownsFan Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Vice had an interesting show awhile back on the amazing advances they had in cancer treatments. I posted it here before, but can't find it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science Reprogramming a virus to remove the part that attacks human cells and target it to cancer, we're on to a winner, hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To clarify, cancer cells *are* human cells. That's why chemo & rads therapy is such an ass kicker. Not trying to be a dick, just wanted to clarify.

Not trying to be a dick, just wanted to clarify. Yes, thanks for clarity. I guess I should have said 'normal' human cells. Either way, reprogramming a virus to specifically attack them based on a genetic marker (or whatever) seems like a pretty exciting development. The idea has been around for a while now, and is being trialled against other diseases, but if it can be extrapolated to all cancers, this is huge. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-32881552 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohican Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Dear NSA - please share my condolences with the Biden family. I imagine that it is painful to outlive your children. Joe and his wife Jill are in my prayers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
