Researchers at Wayne State University hacked the genetic code of cancer cells to make them kill themselves and patented the technique. Motherfuck - can you imagine how much this patent will be worth? They tested it on Melanoma cells which are known to be the most aggressive of the cancer cells, but the technique will work on any cells. They've already had 70% - 100% success rates. Our sports teams may suck but at least our researchers are on point.

Oh yeah - little bit of Warrior pride here:

Wonder how far it will go or if it will ever make it out of the lab. My grandmother had skin cancer on her nose and was cured by a holistic guy using a eggplant derived formula. A few months later the guy got busted by the government and was never seen again.

I think there has probably been several cures for cancer, its just which one will be the easiest to control and the most profitable will be the one we see make it to market.

That's what I'm always concerned about. There are entire industries that don't want to see cancer cured, and there is a fuck ton of money on the line. I wouldn't be surprised if this guy dies a mysterious death.
 
About to visit my friend today who has 3 to 18 months to live. Pour one out for all our lost loved ones and as seous said look forward to the amount of people that could be saved in the future...
 
If it is government funded research (didn't read the article fully), it has a good chance of getting out of the lab.
And yes, this sounds more promising than anything which I have heard of in the last 10-15 years about curing cancer.

Also if anyone doubts me she was told she had skin cancer by her doctor who urged her to start treatment immediately. Her and my mom are way more into holistic stuff, few weeks later she found the guy by referrals from other people that said he cured them.

She went tot he guys house (weird I know) was given a cream he was making in his house (lol). She saw him for a month and used his stuff. She then went back to the normal doctor and he was dumbfounded and asked what she did because there was no trace of the cancer she had. She mentioned the guy and the eggplant cream she used and he was pretty surprised.


Few weeks later and there was a huge raid on the guys house, practicing medicine without a license, making medicine not FDA approved, false claims, etc etc. The guy was never seen or heard of again. They were going to go to the guys trial or help testify but there wasn't one. This was all in south florida around the miami area. 100% the truth.
 
Chemo is a big scam. Cancer is even a bigger scam. Do you realize what would happen if this was really the cure and how much money the government and health industry is going to lose??? My dad had half his insides cut out because of Cancer... Fuck cancer and fuck the government, I hope they both go down
 
Highly unlikely this really works.

I wish it would be true, but things like this never turn out to be true.

There is very little difference between the two IMO.

And not that this isn't the most fantastic of news, just a little devil's advocate. I get goosebumps every time I see words like "a highly potent DNA-degrading enzyme" and "altered its genetic composition." Now to preface, I know that this is the way of the future. That medicine will evolve from synthetic man made compounds to more of a, for lack of a better word, genetic based medicine. I just hope that all possible outcome and contingencies are tested and planned for. Because there are a great many things that can go wrong when mutating DNA. I just suppose the epidemiologist in me sometimes gets the better. None the less, it is all very promising and I can't wait to see what comes from this. It's like a new frontier. After all, if they can target cancer cells, it is only a matter of time before other ailments are in the cross hairs.
 
It looks awesome, but it's a LONG way off clinical applications.

Next step is animal trials, then phase 1 2 & 3 human trials. Probably 10-15 years before it gets FDA approval as a therapy. There are a lot of things that could go wrong with the treatment between now and then.

There will never be such a thing as a cure for cancer, because it isn't a single disease. It's a massive group of diseases that have some, but not many things in common. This could be very useful in quite a few cases, but not all.

The Nature paper says as much. University PR is, as usual a little over-exuberant. :)

Props to Dr Rosner though. He must be stoked. This sort of shit is Nobel Prize for Medicine territory.

Also - it's BS that the drug companies / government would be against this. This is leading the way to personalised treatments. They are going to be UNBELIEVABLY expensive. This stuff is a pharma executive's wet dream.

Sounds like the time when I was a 6 year old living in a rural village in Russia. For some reason I started growing a shit-ton of warts on my fingers and we didn't have regular medicine to cure them so we fetched a "holy man," aka a holistic druidic type living in some remote village. About a month later he finally came to my town, blessed me with some holy water and told me to fetch a stick from the forest. He then took the stick and put it in the middle of the village square and said: Someone at night is going to take that stick and burn it. When that happens your warts will be gone.

Sure enough, someone probably picked the stick up and night and used it for firewood, and in the morning all my warts were gone. No scars either, like nothing ever happened.

I think back about that story and always think I must have imagined the whole thing, but every time I ask my grandparents about it they can recall it as well.

*shrug*

Not sure, but I would imagine. Wayne State is a major research university and gets a fuckton of research grants awarded every year.

Wikipedia said:
At $254 million spent annually on research expenditures, Wayne State ranks among the nation's top universities for research according to the National Science Foundation. Additionally, Wayne State is among only 3.6 percent of the nation's universities with an RU/VH (Research Universities, Very high research activity) classification from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of teaching.

It also has the largest single location medical school in the nation so I know the med school is always priority. With these new findings I'm sure that number is only going to go up.

Yep once they've got cancer licked, and can regrow basic organs, next stage of decay is neurological diseases (ALS, Alzheimers, Parkinsons, MS). At the moment, they really have no fucking idea at all what to do about those.
 
If this was a breakthrough it would be on the front page of at least one news medium. It's not anywhere to be found. Sadly, looks more like a PR "look at what our research department is doing" kind of thing. Though, I'll cross my fingers I'm wrong.
