I read that one as well. We will hopefully get to the point that they id the cancer, then give us targeted meds for it, instead of general poison that is the best we can do. It is amazing how advancements come in jerks and starts, if we are able to look back over a long time, mans' achievements are a wonder.

Best,

Or better yet figure out how to modify our environment (including diet) so we don't get it in the first place.

I do believe that some of it’s hereditary. Yet that doesn’t mean some of us couldn’t improve our lifestyles.

Man that is harsh Some of it is because of lifestyle choices or environment, some certainly hereditary.

If you live long enough, cells will likely mutate, some of those mutations will be cancer.

I rather suspect it is the Genes - barring extraordinary external causation.
I did study molecular biology at the Sackler in Tel Aviv. Didn't degree in it, but I do know my way around a wet bench. Got so far as doing my own recombinant DNA work on Canine cells

I have guys that work for me that study the relationship between genes and health.

Genes play a bigger role than we thought even just 5 years ago.

Take a look at your parents and grandparents...you will probably die of something similar to them, independent of environmental factors.

Also, most cancers can be dealt with if caught early. Some don't fall into that category like Pancreatic, Prostate (95% of men will get), lung, and brain cancers.

Another cliff claven random fact: Marijuana smokers have some of the lowest incident rate of overall cancers.

I was unaware of the link of toking to long term health, I've been looking for a reason...........

This population-based case-control study provides evidence of a relationship between smoking cannabis and lung cancer in young adults. For each joint-year of cannabis exposure the risk of lung cancer was estimated to increase by 8%.


Jama: Sustained marijuana use may increase the risk for testicular cancer,

Some studies are neutral, but alas no the aforementioned statement that por smoking reduces cancer is absolutely false.

Reading a summary (link) sustained SMOKING should have been said.

That reminds me of anti-pot literature handed out by the John Birch society in New York City in the 1970's.

One of the main points was "Consumption of 18 Kg of marijuana could be fatal". Seems most people didn't know what a Kg (Kilogram) meant.
