A CURE TO CANCER?!

Apparently, scientists have found a safe way to get rid of brain cancer.

They take a GMO of the polio virus that's been altered to attach to the cancer cells, and inject an amount into the tumor in your brain. The tumor will then begin immflamation, being a threat to your body. Your body attacks the virus w/ the immune system which also kills the cells it's attatched to. This way, the tumor shrinks and shrinks until it is no more.

Could this be a cure for every cancer? And if so, can we prevent all cancers and/or have a cure for all of them?

 

oh wow, i knew those scientists would come up with something one day.

still thats a pretty neat thing to hear!

 

"According to Duke, since 2012, around five patients have been treated with the poliovirus remedy. One of these died just six months after being infected with it, while four are still alive and two are cancer-free around three years after being given the virus"

Unfortunately, 1/5 of the tested patients die from the polio virus. Remember, it's a genetically modified virus, and even with the proper shots, a failure in the Memory B-cells in recognizing that subspecies would make that person die.

Also, remember that some tumors spread all over the body from cancer cells being torn out by pressure in red blood cells and spreaded to other places. This would start making the virus uncontrollable if doctors attempted to give them shots in all places.

 

Every cure isn't perfect.
