New test can predict cancer up to 13 years before disease develops

[GodFearinGunTotin]

I believe the cure for most/all cancers is just around the corner. This may or may not lead to it but it seems like they're getting sooooooo close.

New test can predict cancer up to 13 years before disease develops - Telegraph

There is no money in curing cancer...

 

[Bonkers4Bacon]

Lot of big words in there, I'll just assume it means something good

 

[Stang51d]

If they can't cure it, I don't want to know 13 years ahead of time about it.

Charge a crap ton for the treatment. Problem solved. The more "miraculous" the treatment the more can be charged for it. There is a hell of a lot of money to be made in curing cancer.

There is more money to be made to treat cancer...

I was told my chemo treatment is 21, 000.00 per treatment and I am doing 12 treatments.....Thankfully I have ins. They are making a fortune on cancer treatments and many times it just prolongs the patients life by a few months. As far as the test I am not sure I want to know, having been diagnosed with cancer twice in 2 years I am a walking nervous wreck, I don't want to know what's coming up.

Tell that to kids surviving leukemia

I pray for a cure. A guy at our church just got diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer today.

Didn't read article but i'll guess this product was developed by some major pharmaceutical company, like Halliburton or Pfizer. Their product tells you your gonna get cancer in 10 years, but if you take this product, made by Halliburton or Pfizer, for 10k a month you wont get it in 10 years! Yeah i see where this technology is going

My Dad passed away recently (March 15th), he did his first round of chemo on March 6th, and was dead 9 days later. His white cell count was .25, before he started chemo, the doctors told him it would only extend his life by 1 to 3 months.
I can't help but feel, if he had not done the chemo, he would still be here now. But his quality of life was very low. He was 72, in fact had just turned 72 on March 5th.
I would really think twice about this.

I am only 47 and in good health otherwise. I had cancer in my lung right next to my heart and lung cancer is notorious for coming back so I am going with the chemo. Your right though chemo literally wrecks your body.

Of course I did not know how old you are, I would do the same thing. I hope it all goes well for you.

I hope this leads to cures for various cancers. The talk about a person's health insurance premiums skyrocketing when test showed that they were likely candidates for cancer was interesting. The statement saying that it could lead to lower insurance premiums, because of early detection and treatment was pie in the sky. Insurance companies never lower premiums. They never loose money. I think insurance is one of the biggest scams ever perpetrated on the American public.

I often wonder if the cure to cancer is right under our noses......and we just haven't made the connection. It wouldn't surprise me if we find the cure to be something simple, like alkaloid juice from a gold frog mixed with some peyote......we just need someone to find the magic recipe.

With so many things in this world......it will take some luck.

Any of you 70-80 year old guys remember when you were young folks.....was cancer as prevalent then as now? I am 47 and it seems when I was a kid I never heard of people with cancer, now it is everywhere.

Wishing the best to those who are in battles with it.

Well, ignoring the crowd, what's the accuracy, what's the reliability, and how does it prevent or cure the disease?

Yeah, cancer has been around a lot since I was a kid and before. The internet brings out more and more information; some good and some bad.

Teleomer length has always been associated with aging. Try not to age.

I know a guy in his late sixties who has lung cancer although I am not sure of the stage. He refused chemo, radiation and went on a strict organic salad and an organic juice diet. So far he has kept the cancer spot from growing by just eating a very strict organic diet. I am going to try the diet when I get done with chemo here in about 10 weeks. I think diet plays a big part in avoiding cancer.

Agreed, I have heard of people beating cancer with organic carrot juice. I think our diets play a huge part in all diseases.
