I'm by no means a supporter of pharmaceutical companies and as a PhD student in a biomedical field I would not want to work with or for one. However this example comes up time and time again and I just wanna point out that there will never be 1 drug that cures or makes you immune to all cancer. Never. Diabetes would be a better example.

Alright probably not sync with the wifi but they could feasibly produce some kind of reporter molecule or signal that you could detect. It just frustrates me when people use the cancer example because it undermines the whole oncology field where a lot of people are working really hard to find a cure for specific types of cancer. A thousand cures for a thousand cancers is more likely to be the outcome.

What are your thoughts on the future of cancer treatment? Will nanotechnology come to the fore? Genetic treatments? Thanks for doing this AMA!
