Hope this makes it to people soon. Have a family friend who was diagnosed with cancer a few days ago. It was here in Canada, so they offered her assisted suicide, literally within 30 seconds after telling her she had cancer. She didn't even really process the diagnosis before they were offering to help her die. They didn't offer to try any experimental medicine.
Experiencing cancer in my family I can tell for sure all of that buzz is quite exciting, but in the last 5 years there haven't been breakthroughs that would significantly improve outcomes for an average patient.
What is the delivery mechanism for the MOF. The chemistry sounds promising (to this amateur, at least) but how does it get to and enter cancer cells?
They should give it to some people with fatal stages of cancer.
in mice?
If it worked, how much might it roughly cost per treatment, at scale?
That sounds extremely promising
Command-F "mice"
yup. every time
Will this be buried like rest if cancer cures?
Anything that doesn’t genetically target cancer cells is just not the solution long term. Any progress is good though.
I lost my brother yesterday to cancer. I hope one day this can save lives. Go Beavs.
