DNA Cancer Codes Cracked By International Effort

Posted by samzenpus on from the world-wide-tumor dept.

Enigma23 writes "As reported on news.com.au, scientists from the International Cancer Genome Consortium of 12 institutes around the world will today release the first DNA profiles of some of the most prevalent types of tumors. While the story asserts that 'A new era of cancer treatment has dawned,' I'm a bit more skeptical, given that gene therapy and immunotherapy are still very much in their infancy at the current time."

    If you think that the decline of science is just because of the previous administration then you've got a shitload to learn, boy.

    You're either an idiot, a lemming or a troll.

    "You're either an idiot, a lemming or a troll."

    At least the previous poster isn't a rude arrogant prick who makes claims
    without providing any facts in support of those claims.

    As for the previous administration, science aside, if you think they
    did anything good then YOU are a dumb shit. The previous administration
    took numerous steps to ruin the country, period.
