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
Chemotherapy is like using a shotgun trying to hit an apple on top of your head.
You cannot „cure“ most of the cancer variations yet. It’s just kill almost all of the cancer cells and hope they don‘t grow back.
Also having cancer is not like having some kind of virus. It‘s your own body.
There are multiple kinds of cells that are mutating. There are medications for specific kinds of cells, but unfortunately you will probably have multiple kinds of cancer cells.
