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 just one single type of sickness or mutation. There are so many types, both benign and malignant.
The causes aren’t always known. Sometimes it’s exposure to a particular environment or substance, but others have little to no warning.
They’re also unpredictable. Some respond well to established treatment, others require new methods, and some just don’t respond at all.
And to make things more complicated, they can go undetected for so long that catching them.and treating them can be tricky too.
