The GTA IV Out: TOUCH MY PECS!

What type of cancer?

He could just be an outlier, one case doesn't disprove a trend.

Duno, didnt really know him.
His sister came and told me, thats about as much contact as ive had with them lol.

I read an article today that they had developed a pill that could suppress cancer cells so that having cancer would basically become a manageable disease rather than a fatal one. Not sure how much credence there was to it, it was in a pamphlet for a "Cops for Cancer" or "Bike for Cancer" charity or something like that and didn't cite any sources.

It sounds like a ridiculous claim.

Also in drug trials hundreds of drugs fail, very few are successful for one reason or another , I mean first when they test a drug in a cell culture ( only one cell is grown up and the effect of the drug is seen on the cell) the drug might work but when actually tested on animals or people* the result could be awful.

*I wanted to make the distinction between animal testing and human trials in case anybody was pedantic enough to say humans are animals.

Didn't feel like searching much beyond that.

The pill makes sense, IIRC isnt cancer just a disformed cell/s?

Something like that. They are cells that destroy other cells around them and... something...
... yeah. I don't really know.

I think I'm going to call it a night, though. Been a long day, and I've got a couple more to look forward to.

Yeah.

Problem is, they're YOUR deformed cells.

So as far as medicine/immunity goes, anything that kills them will kill your own cells too. Which is why even though it's pretty well understood treating it is a complete bitch, never mind that doing it in a way that doesn't run serious risks is a biological nightmare.

Go nuts, I'm pretty out of the loop on that stuff even though I really should be keeping up.

Alternatively, I could admire your pants.

I told myself I was going to play some DA2 tonight.

There's always tomorrow.
