With chat-GPT and LLM exponential increase in capabilities in general, the very real possibility of room-temperature superconductors and now this, 2023 is coming in clutch







Highly experimental, of course. But still. Imagine getting AGI, room-temp superconductors and a cure for cancer within a decade or two. Bring on the techno-utopia!

If all goes well then we could be looking at something of a remedy (I do not want to use the word cure) to 70 kinds of cancer. Though the test are only mouth cancer for now. However they are just finding the isomer in cancer? I'm no biologist by any means but could we not see something like that in a cell before? Either way that's a HUGE find. That means cancer can be targeted, and with our cells not being able to mutate past it, there is no mutating past whatever they find.

Cool. I'm gonna go buy some cigarettes then.

oral sex increases cancer risk?

Doesn't matter anymore!

 

[gatti-man]

oral sex increases cancer risk?

If they have HPV yes

The HPV vaccine mostly does that already.

 

[Musashipan]

I've heard that many times before.
Hopefully this time is for real

People wouldn't take a vaccine because they said it altered your DNA, good luck getting people on board with something that actually DOES interact with your DNA.

 

[E-Cat]

If they have HPV yes

80% of people do

 

[Fbh]

Well hopefully it's true but wouldn't get my hopes up until there's more concrete evidence.

Based on the description in the Tweet it sounds like something you'd take after being diagnosed with cancer, instead of something you take preventively.
I think a lot of people will become more open to new drugs when there's a chance it might cure their cancer, specially if clinical trials on humans are showing positive results. Even if you`re skeptical this would be like "the risk of potential unforeseen issues in the future vs the very real very serious issue you have now".

The stupid fucks who did that weren't sick, and didn't care about anyone else. It's amazing how smart stupid fucks suddenly get when they are actually sick.

Depends on number of sexual partners. if you are married and dont have STDs then throat fuck all you want.

Don't get your hopes up.

 

[Insane Metal]

Lol even if this was true it'd be so far out.

 

[FullMetalx117]

Would be amazing, cancer is the biggest fear. Could happen to anyone, even the healthiest

 

[Crayon]

Does the 70 include lung cancer? I'd like to get back the 20 years off the end of my life from not using respirator masks when I should have.

 

[JimmyRustler]

My faith in humanity is not strong enough to believe this to ever be thing. The pharma industry just make too much money from cancer treatment.

 

[NekoFever]

oral sex increases cancer risk?

It's become the leading risk factor for throat cancer since smoking rates have declined, albeit indirectly by spreading HPV, which causes cancer.

Not me I got vaccinated.

I mean, this is basically what already happens with chemo.

Where did you work?

 

[Crayon]

Where did you work?

Oh, I work in a lab but I know better now. I have a respirator hanging right off my monitor.

But over the years I've done a lot of dirty work and looking back there are so many times I should have been wearing one.

I got a lot of really bad attitude towards safety from my dad. He's lucky to be alive and have all his limbs. I was never half as crazy as he was but I'm lucky I haven't gotten really hurt, too.

Given that I'm old enough to remember interleukin 2, interferon, and angiostatin as "Cures for cancer" I'm not holding my breath.

I'd rather have cancer than no oral sex.

You can have (probably) no cancer and all the dick sucking in the world if everyone got the HPV vaccine.

Oh yeah, the vaccine that didn't stop you from getting infected but that you were supposed to get to protects the ones who should have done it but didn't?

 

[jason10mm]

Not gonna hold my breath on this one. Even if it works on a biomechanical level; delivering it, limiting off-target effects, and actually achieving disease free remission all have to be evaluated. This is a grasp for funding I think. I've seen COUNTLESS claims like this over the years that, 5 years later, are a limited function tool (like CRISPR) at best or straight vaporware at worst (Theranos, anyone?).

Still, the more we know, the more tools we have in the fight.

I saw a video where they saw you could cure cancer with frequency modulation, but drug companies buried it.

I'm not sure wtf that means but it's been theorized you could obliterate tumors with lithotripsy, which uses ultrasound. But that's only one part of the equation

Ya it was a weird pseudo science thing. My dad use to do lithotripsy for Kidney stones. It had to do more with using like frequency resonance.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Even curing cancer there's other diseases that's all I'm saying.

Right, same concept to break up kidney stones but for tumors. It was mostly theoretical/concept phase when I was involved but that was several years ago.

Ultrasound (well, high frequency sound) is a treatment for some forms of prostate cancer, I believe. The idea is the tumor cells are more fragile and can be disrupted before the surrounding healthy tissue is damaged beyond repair. Not really that different than x-ray treatments or some forms of chemo, really, the goal is to kill the tumor faster than it kills the normal stuff around it.

High-intensity focused ultrasound for the treatment of prostate cancer - Mayo Clinic

www.mayoclinic.org

The "holy grail" for cancer treatments are therapies that ONLY target tumor cells, nothing else, and can kill EVERY tumor cell while leaving the rest of the body intact. Very, very, few treatments offer this hope though, even the highly specific monoclonal antibody, CAR-T, or gene therapies always have some off target effect, possible tumor resistance, or residual disease possibility, though certainly some folks can achieve 100% remission for the rest of their natural lives. Given the multitude of ways "cancer" presents, it's just the way it is that each cancer really needs it's own specific therapy, there really is no "all cancer cure-all", it would be like trying to develop a protective suit that could "prevent all trauma".
