How come we can find cures for up-and-coming diseases in usually less than ten years, but cancer has existed for so long and there still isn’t a reliable cure?
In: Biology
Cancer isn’t a disease; its your body’s own cells going rogue and growing when they’re not supposed to.
In short: It’s not that we can’t “cure” cancer, its that a) Every cancer is different in how it grows and spreads, and b) we need to find a way to cure cancer without harming our good cells (which, ironically, could turn cancerous themselves) during treatment.
