Question: My final proposal for cancer cure have an understanding of biology and cells?
Answers:
Because "cancer" refers to a class of diseases,it is unlikely that there will ever be a single cure for cancer. Most forms of chemotherapy target all rapidly dividing cells and are not specific to cancer cells, although some degree of specificity may come from the inability of many cancer cells to repair DNA damage, while normal cells generally can.
I had Hodgkin's lymphoma, and the approach to treating lymphomas and leukemia is a holistic/systemic one.The treatment of some leukemias and lymphomas requires the use of high-dose chemotherapy, and total body irradiation (TBI). This treatment ablates the bone marrow, and hence the body's ability to recover and repopulate the blood with the rogue cells.
Cancer immunotherapy refers to a diverse set of therapeutic strategies designed to induce the patient's own immune system to fight the tumor. Some newer methods for generating an immune response against tumors include intravesical BCG immunotherapy, and use of interferons and other cytokines to induce an immune response in carcinoma -- melanomas.
You might want to pick a certain type of cancer or response to persue. I definitely think you are on the right track and I encourage you to continue your biological studies. Good Luck!
I didn't understand it because I don't have the knowledge but it sounds like you have a plan. Stick with it. Goodluck!
Your logic is sound, to a point. Your main error is assuming that there is only one mutation that causes cancer. If that were the case, we probably would have a cure by now. Cancer is not one disease, but literally dozens of different diseases, each one with its own causes, and its own genetic mutations. You would need to find out what the mutation or mutations are that cause each different kind of cancer.
Once you do that, you would have to find a way to search out and find every single cell in the body that has this mutation. This is not at all easy to do, even with the latest technologies that we have in the laboratories. We don't know if any of these technologies will ever be safe enough to actually use in the human body, but we are making progress.
I don't mean to discourage you. We can use all the cancer-researchers we can get.
