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
Most people in here have the wrong idea about what a cure is.
Chemotherapy can cure cancer. If it kills off the cancer then it has cured it. That’s what a cure is. It gets rid of a disease.
The issue is that a lot of people think a cure is a magical thing that always works and always works 100%. In reality cures quite often don’t return you to 100% of what you were before.
