Hey onco-nosology nerds: Is there a cell-typed unambiguous classification system, research, and clinical treatment protocol nexus attempting to capture and disseminate information on all cancer types in a more precise and organized effort?
Didn’t Cuba have a vaccine for lung cancer? I seem to recall seeing one in a documentary (maybe a Michael Moore film?)
My father died of lung cancer. I also ran a failed medical tourism company which sent people to get this treatment in Cuba. More modern versions of the Cuban treatment are now few approved in the USA as immunotherapy. Didn’t save my dad
My understanding is that of all cancer drugs approved by the FDA between 2000-2016 (around 90 drugs), the median life extension was just over 2 months...
Started to look after my own health a bit more.
This is a very welcome development.
“Statistically significant and highly clinically meaningful” perhaps, but not so much that they can say what that actually means. My understanding is that of all cancer drugs approved by the FDA between 2000-2016 (around 90 drugs), the median life extension was just over 2 months...

The may work better, but the drugs only run the studies to that threshold.
My mom died of lung cancer like 10 years ago and the immunotherapy drugs like keytuda all has those disclaimers.
Her pd1 wasn't a good fit, but some like Jimmy Carter responded really well
