Hi display3. Your question is too vague. Cancer is not one illness but hundreds and there will never be one “cure” for cancer. What type of cancer are you dealing with?

Lately, are there any developments in cancer research? I have heard about one about one of the universities in Singapore developing a device that can detect the cancer cells more efficiently. Very Happy

Gang, I am moving this thread to the Leukemia forum since “display” is actually interested in that family of Cancers.

There is not a solid cure. Only treatment. There are a few different kinds of Leukemia. I am aware that one types survival rate is 70%, another I believe (not completely sure so don't take this to seriously) is nearly incurable. The type I was talking about with the 70% survival chance was once 30% so it flipped around from 70% dying to 70% living. This development was made about half a decade ago in June. One thing they do with cancers is chemotherapy which is using radiation to get rid of the cancer although for some people it might of been radiation that caused it (double edged sword, eh?). One side affect is decreasing in a certain, bacteria fighting blood cell which will not fight off infection as well when weakened by chemotherapy. Check out my signature for more info.

I heard that there is clinic in Kiev, Ukraine where there are some great results in treating cancer, using STEM CELLS (cells from unborn babies). These cells are injected in the patient's blood and recreate the ill tissue.
Try a google search something like "stem cells Ukraine" or something like that.
