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
We very rarely if ever can cure a disease. We can develop preventative measures like vaccines, treatments like antibiotics or just treat the symptoms to increase comfort. But actually curing anything is quite difficult. We have lots of treatments for cancer already but because cancerous cells are so similar to the hosts it’s very hard to do anything that can kill them without also doing incredible damage to the person.
