Replies to "@zmarkv I apologize for fixating on this but it seems important: https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sciencedirect.com%2Fscience%2Farticle%2Fpii%2FS2950195425001584&esheet=54355098&newsitemid=20251110372022&lan=en-US&anchor=The+Journal+of+Liquid+Biopsy&index=1&md5=eadaa25c4f06378e0d23bf096a215707"

@zmarkv The most depressing part of that paper - beside the fact that I couldn’t make sense of a lot of it - is that chemo is only 5% effective in long term overall survival and less than 1.6% effective after 5 yrs…
I mean, these stats are startling when you think of how often chemo is used in most cancers today.
I’m hoping that this is a huge compilation of ALL data from decades ago when they used the same poisons on all cancers with little regard to their specificity. We know that drugs like Keytruda are pretty good at arresting many types of cancer and Pluvicto is ultra specific for bone marrow metastases in PCa.
Hoping that the custom tailored immuno-specific and genetic approaches raise these measly percentages.
