58008Using radiotherapy to cure cancer which was caused by exposure to radioactive materials sounds a lot like homeopathy (except in this case it actually works)
slazer2auOnce we get better at treating cancers we will look back at Chemo and Radiotherapy with the same mind as we currently look back at mediaeval procedures.
Yep, it just sucks that the hit or miss accuracy of many current treatments will be like that for many decades. It’s just part of the process towards eventually getting to extremely effective treatments with minimal side effects.
There’s so much amazing cancer medicine in the pipeline, it’s just crazy. If only 10% or it works as good as hoped for, cancer will be much less of an issue in a comparatively short time.
Reminds me of that scene in Star Trek when Bones is in the hospital in the 80s and completely overwhelmed by all the barbaric procedures.
