Reports coming out a trail taken place in New York. Where they’ve trialed a new drug to cure cancer and all recipients have had they’re tumours cleared following treatment.
IF this is right, wow groundbreaking achievement.
Let’s be hopeful guys   |

It would have to undergo strict and rigorous testing by our clinical trial system before it could be used here and I’m betting it would be years before it’s used in the UK
It also depends on the cost! |

Even if it takes years to be in use “if” it’s legit, it’s still groundbreaking. |

If and when they do find a cure for cancer or individual types of cancer it should be made free to all.
Unfortunately the USA will sell it for a million pounds per pill and the UK will be a postcode lottery as to the availability. |

It’s only for colorectal (colon & rectal) cancer which is already very successfully treatable. Stop being so melodramatic. And before you say anything, T had non-Hodgkins lymphoma which is a blood cancer so we’ve been there & not just making a flippant comment.

Here occasionally, but mostly somewhere else |

Ok.. 18 out of 18 rectal cancer sufferers into remission. That's fantastic, of course, but it's a very specific cancer, and still quite a small sample.
I feel for the control group...  |

Astrazeneca have had great results with Enhertu, they are in trials (I think) with a breast cancer study where there was a 49% reduction in late stage cancer and 36% reduction in risk of death. Enhertu has the potential to treat gastric, colon and lung cancers.

There was no control group in this particular trial.
This is the big problem with anti cancer drugs. They have to target very specific cell types or specific mutations, so the most effective will always be very niche. And therefore also expensive. We say "cancer" like it's the same disease, but even a cancer of one "type" could actually have multiple different subtypes and require very different treatments. |
