Un virus expérimental génétiquement modifié est parvenu à stopper l'un des cancers les plus mortels

Des chercheurs américains testent cette nouvelle thérapie pour attaquer le cancer du pancréas. Chez plusieurs patients, la maladie a cessé de…

💗 Rappel : la prise en charge ainsi que la survenue des #cancers et des #canicules sont *aussi* politiques, et les entités qui crament l'hôpital et la santé publique sont les mêmes qui crament notre environnement et ses habitant·es.

Regardez qui défend réellement les services publics ou au contraire veut confier notre santé à des entreprises ; qui défend les sciences du #climat ou au contraire qui verse dans le #climatodénialisme...

"At an earlier time, I named a series of foundational lies, which I believed created a spirit that desires genocide and slavery. I still believe that.

You might think of a foundational lie as a virus—a thing that exists only to promote itself, which has no place whatsoever within a healthy system, which will eventually consume that system if left unchecked. You might think of a natural human priority configured around a foundational lie as a cancer—a corruption of something that under optimal circumstances would exist in a healty system, but now exists only to grow itself unsustainably.

Imagine the most extreme example of my earlier picture: a system so unfair that every bit of value the city generates—every wage, every increase to property value, every bit of food, all permission to drive on the street or walk on the sidewalk, all permission to access shelter, every drop of rain—goes only to one person.

Let's make that person me. Hey, it's my example.

All value in my city—everything needed for a person to live—now goes to me, and to me alone, which means my neighbors receive none. The only destination this configuration could ever arrive at would be the one in which all my neighbors were crushed in the gears of my intentions, unable to provide our natural human system with value; leaving me alone, receiving only the value I can manage to deliver to myself, for however long that lasts. In time, I would become a bizarre and unsustainable curiosity. Having cut every other human out of my natural human system, I would have made an unnatural human system; a viral system that no longer generated the value that a community of humans naturally makes. Eventually I, too, would fail—not despite the fact that I have hoarded all the value, but because.

These lies contain their own deaths within them, you know. Unsustainable things don't sustain. A cancer dies with the body. A virus will die, once it runs out of bodies."

"Eating too much of it risks chronic #disease, growing it contributes about an eighth of human-made #climate #pollution, & there is #evidence linking it to certain #cancers." Meat-eating linked to #masculinity? Make that TOXIC masculinity!
What’s at steak: myths about masculinity and meat eating pose a challenge for the climate crisis

Being a carnivore is often seen as an expression of manhood, but the need has never been greater for men to cut down their intake

I think you're right, and most #cancers are caused by random genetic mutation:

https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/causes-of-cancer/inherited-cancer-genes-and-increased-cancer-risk/family-history-and-inherited-cancer-genes

I also agree that certain carcinogens, from #tobacco smoke to ionising radiation to UV light to benzene, will increase that risk, and we owe it to ourselves to limit exposure to them. However, my understanding is that transcription errors creep in all the time as cells divide, and there's no way to stop it. So, if I'm right, we can reduce our lifetime chance of cancer, but we can't eliminate it.

Family history and inherited cancer genes | Cancer Research UK

Some people have an increased risk of particular types of cancer because they have inherited a faulty gene.

Le 13 mai 2026 à l'Assemblée nationale, l’ensemble des familles politiques à l'exception du #RN (cf. https://www.assemblee-nationale.fr/dyn/17/scrutins/6572 ) ont voté en faveur d’une mesure forte : taxer les géants du médicament pour aider les #enfants gravement #malades (#cancers et maladies rares). Cette taxe de 0,1 % sur le chiffre d’affaires des laboratoires pharmaceutiques en France pourrait rapporter 50 millions d’euros annuels pour un secteur qui en a généré 73 milliards en 2023.
PS : Les député·es #RN du #var étaient absent·es lors de ce vote.
'It's appalling': Halifax women condemn 15-month wait for mammograms
Cynthia McCutcheon thought she heard wrong when she was told the next available appointment for a mammogram in the Halifax area was in July, 2027. She's worried some cancers will be diagnosed at later stages because of the backlog in Nova Scotia.

A #ClermontFerrand, quand les femmes font une action pour la lutte contre les #cancers féminins, elles marchent ou courent avec #ClermontRose

Quand les hommes font une action pour la lutte contre les cancers masculins, ils crament du #pétrole et font une petite balade à #moto !
