What does it mean to “cure” cancer? Isn’t chemotherapy a largely effective solution? Why do they say cancer hasn’t been cured then?
In: Biology
That’s like saying if you have a hand disease the CURE is to cut off the hand.
That’s not a cure.
Chemotherapy nukes the body and hopefully kills the cancer, that’s all.
You should look up what chemotherapy is. Some ELI5 questions are fundamentally good questions, but some are based on mistaken ideas about what the concepts are.
