Shrew Saliva- possible cure for cancer

Let's hope it can materialize into something positive. May take years but a good start.
 
Does that mean I should have never divorced my wife? She was a fucking shrew.
 
Shakespeare deceived us. There is no taming of the shrew.
 
It would be a wonderful day if they ever found the cure to this cruel killer called cancer. It is a terrible way to die.

old news
no peer review
no empirical proof through other recearchers.

Not much here but rumors

I was biting my tongue (well, fingers, actually) not wanting to post such a comment.

There are many possible ways to battle cancer, but remember cancer is not "a" disease but thousands of diseases that refer to cell mutation. A single cure for all is unlikely unless we can disrupt the mutation process followed by aggressive growth, which is certainly the wish we all have, but unlikely in reality. We live in hope, though...

every cure has risks in that it destroys the immune system

Today our best hope lays in targeted treatments

Targetted treatments tend to attack either a particular type of cancerous cell, destroying it through interfereing with the way it multiplies (gene blocking, enzyme attacks, etc) or by attacking the fundamental replication process (again, enzyme attack or gene blocking). Progress is being made on both angles, but the chances of a miraculous cure is low: this type of research requires patience, detailed observations, and elimination of all possible variants. Do I believe we'll find a single cure? No. Do I believe we'll find taregtted cures that handle most cases? Yes! Will it be soon? I hope, but doubt...

I live in Buffalo and Roswell Park is one of the oldest Cancer Research centers and they did not build it here because land was cheap.
