NeoShadowhen 07/30/19 3:57:38 PM #6:	I think I understand. Youre saying what if the treatment was so expensive that when the pharma companies were forced to make it for some reason, they would lose money. Doesnt work. The tinfoil hat theory is what if it was so inexpensive that theyd lose loads of money because they couldnt sell expensive treatments that dont make it go away and required that it keeps being bought. <cite>NeoShadowhen posted [p:925391845] in What if th...

Funny you mention that..one of my responsibilities at my job is to test for viral presence in healthy cells in one of these studies. In other words, my job is to make sure the virus isnt attacking the healthy cells and is only infecting the gliobastoma. Anyway, as RebelElite said, its very specific to brain cancer...glioblastoma specifically. Did you see the part of my comment where I went through the trouble to bold the words Every single? Also, its not a silver bullet even for glioblastoma. --- 3DS friend code: 5455-9623-0727 <cite>RescueBC posted [p:925422675] in What if th...

chrono625 07/31/19 8:39:09 AM #17:	I think at some point, they will just have higher success rates against more volatile cancers. Like pancreatic and brain. You'll never get an outright cure for them. Treatments will be less invasive and be more accurate.
