  • Happy 8th Birthday, 4chan *click*

    Server/posting issues should be resolved now.

    Portland, OR folks: You are invited to drink beers, play arcade games, and eat delicious donuts.
    The *tentative* plan is to meet up Saturday, at 10PM @ Ground Kontrol ($2 cover after 9PM, 21+ after 5PM), and grab donuts at Voodoo after midnight.
    If anything changes I'll post it to @4chan on the Twitter (so follow it if you're thinking about coming).

    How do we find a single cure for all skin diseases?

    You don't. You find cures for every individual one until you can make nanobots.

    Nanobots swimming around our bodies looking for cancerous cells and annihilating them.

    Not really educated in the field, but my mother died of cancer a few years back so i've done a bit of reading around the subject.

    The long and short of it is that if you destroy the tumour, you destroy the cancer.

    There are 3 basic options you can take

    Surgery
    -Just jumping right in there and grabbing it, ripping it out. Invasive, potentially fruitless (if you miss a cell it might come back). Usually combined with other methods.

    Radiotherapy
    -Nuke it with gamma rays until it dies. You sort of rotate the patient around the tumour while you do it so only the tumour gets all the radiation, the body only gets like 1/180th of it.

    Chemotherapy.
    -Poison the shit out of it pure and simple. Don't know that much about this one.

    All of these work pretty well in the early stages, the big problem comes when bits of the tumour break off into the bloodstream, float around the body and start growing in like 50 different places. If one starts growing in the brain it's pretty much game over.

    There are lots of cool ways people are inventing to kill cancer, including a drug which somehow reactivates the natural death process of cells and a gold particle which only binds to the cancer so you can heat that up with radio waves and only burn out cancer cells.

    The big cure though is in actually finding the cancers really early on when they're easy to treat. If a magic bullet cancer finding machine could be made for the early stages, nobody would ever die from the usual cancers again. There's a fuckload of money going into research atm and Medicine is slowly learning how to cure it.

    Kill modern lifestyle.

    It won't cure cancer but will reduce prevalence.

    There's no "cure" to cancer. Today we cure cancer in the same way that you would "cure" a broken arm by amputation.

    Cancer is a series of genetic mutations within cells that cause them to replicate uncontrollably. To "cure" it you would need a way to very precisely alter the DNA of millions of cells all at once.

    The only way to stop cancer is to prevent it in the first place, which will never happen because we live in a society addicted to chemicals and plastics.

    What!?
    So i can get CANCER if i get contact with other's blood, incase he has cancer in his bloodstream.

    What if i take a small piece of cancer and put it in me?
    For example if someone has a tumor in his ear and listens from headphones, would i get cancer?
    Its immortal cells right? so what if one cell at least was stuck in the headphone and i used it afterwards and started multiplying in my ear.
