Title: Types of cancer and typical treatments? Post by: CarbonRobot on May 5, 2022 I was wondering what treatments are used depending on the type and stage of cancer? Is chemo therapy the go to for nearly everything? Or do they really push the treatments that don't cause further DNA damage first?
Title: Re: Types of cancer and typical treatments? Post by: duddy on May 8, 2022 The major treatments currently available are surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and immunotherapy.

Post by: CarbonRobot on May 10, 2022 Know of any cancer treatments that don't damage DNA or are surgical? Magnet field experiments being tested?

You'd need to look at homeopathic solutions otherwise. Some treatments do in fact have the potency to treat cancer or symptoms related to the disease. Is that something you'd be interested in learning about?
Title: Re: Types of cancer and typical treatments? Post by: CarbonRobot on Jun 2, 2022 If homeopathic options aren't practiced in cancer hospitals I don't have enough reason to believe they are that affective.
Title: Re: Types of cancer and typical treatments? Post by: Semantha Lorez on Aug 2, 2022 The major types of cancer are carcinoma, sarcoma, melanoma, lymphoma, and leukemia. Commonly diagnosed cancer originates in skin, lungs, breasts, pancreas and other organs and glands. Leukemia is cancer of the blood.
Treatment of Cancer are: - Chemotherapy - Surgery - Radiation Therapy - Targeted Therapy - Hormone Therapy - Stem Cell Therapy - Immunotherapy Title: Re: Types of cancer and typical treatments? Post by: CarbonRobot on Aug 2, 2022 Yes, but if you took the 80% most common cancers a person will have in life, how many treatments do quite a lot of harm and promote more cancer down the road?

I believe the issue with modern day medicine is this belief of a one-size fits all approach to solving a medical problem. If doctors detect cancer, the first option is typically chemotherapy. The patient really has no other option because the medical community believes we all respond to the medicine in a similar way without doing any prior individual tests. The COVID vaccine, for example, was administered to the entire population based on studies that consisted of <1000 participants. They immediately made conclusions thinking that everyone else would respond the same way. It only took a few months before people realized it didn't work as intended, and that many people suffered from its side effects, which weren't thoroughly reported or made available to the public. Many others found that using off-label medication was more effective than what the medical community promised would be the end-all cure for the disease.

Well you wouldn't suggest plant oils diluted 1000 times in water as a cure for cancer? I know someone who got a cancer at 29 and had to get chemo which she was told gives her a 40% chance of getting leukemia sometime in the future. That doesn't sound like a "do no harm" type of treatment. Title: Re: Types of cancer and typical treatments? Post by: bio_man on Aug 4, 2022 I completely agree, chemotherapy is a literally poisonous. But when people are backed into a corner facing a life-or-death situation, and are promised a 60% chance of survival, they will often take their chances.
I have also read that the drug ivermectin (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7505114/) has anticancer potential, even though it is rarely used to treat the disease.

I just hope gene therapy or some type of reprogramming can be used to help healthy cells detect and attack cancer like they should. Title: Re: Types of cancer and typical treatments?

Reprogramming T cells to hunt down cancer cells sounds very promising, but it's also risky. The therapy involves making four genetic modifications to T cells. First, the addition of a synthetic gene gives the T cells a claw-like protein (called a receptor) that enables it to sees NY-ESO-1, a molecule on some cancer cells. Then CRISPR is used to remove three genes: two that can interfere with the NY-ESO-1 receptor and another that limits the cells’ cancer-killing abilities.
