...and there has been for a long time. Anything that kills cells will kill cancer cells.
The problem is not finding a cure, the problem is finding to get the antidote to the cancer cells and /only/ the cancer cells. |

I should've added.
The 'things' that kill cancer cells can cause more cells to mutate into more cancer cells, which is why it's such an issue.
"Seems pretty simple comparing it to our other creations"
It's not that easy at all. |

Isn't that what chemo is?
Also, bullets work. Bullets and fire. |

They've also found that they can take a blood sample and clone the white blood cells 80,000x and inject it back into the person. They did a big trial of that and 85% of people walked away cancer free in 8 weeks.

Just look at what we've made
Then say we can't change cells.

So There is a working cure, just not guaranteed? Chemo also does kill other cells than cancer I think.

Yes. This is why chemotherapy can sometimes make it worse. Gamma rays can affect the cells surrounding the tumour. |

Yep, hair follicles and bone marrow. Hair follicles aren't too bad, your hair just falls out. Bone marrow is what makes your white blood cells, so it's bad when you lose those. That's why people on Chemo tend to get sick with things like colds and flu more often.

Cancer's cells are everchanging There isn't something that can seek them and only them out. They change, just like every virus (Even though Cancer is not technically a virus)

| Heard on This American Life there is a certain type of sound frequency that only kills cancer cells, however they have not yet figured it out. Mainstream medical companies, however, are trying to cover it. |
