#12I really wish this was available earlier, because I just lost a family member to bladder cancer yesterday morning. :(
That is tough, I’m sorry for your loss.

And for some reason a contingent of HN is cheering it on.
We are breaking the innovation machine and pretending discoveries will just keep happening.

#14My (non-AI) Summary: - "TAR-200 is a miniature, pretzel-shaped drug-device duo containing a chemotherapy drug, gemcitabine, which is inserted into the bladder through a catheter. Once inside the bladder, the TAR-200 slowly and consistently releases the gemcitabine into the organ for three weeks per treatment cycle." - Phase 2 Clinical Trial - 85 patients with high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer - "treated pa…
Unfortunately the recurrence rate after 1 year here is still quite high. Good progress, but not a cure yet.

#15“almost half the patients were cancer-free a year later.”
That's one way of looking at the glass half empty.
If half of people get rid of cancer for 1 year that is still outstanding - ESPECIALLY if the majority of those remain cancer free for quite some time after.

The US isn't the only country with prestigious universities, that partially function on a form of social taxpayer welfare, that innovate in the medical field
In fact, some other developed nations do it in far greater percentages of the universities' independent revenue.
Many also have quite comparatively easy immigration paths for both students and workers.

Only a small percentage had a recurrence that progressed to later-stage muscle-invasive illness, though.

Ultimately that's one reason why the US got the atomic bomb and not the Nazis. Ironic.
Realistically speaking, Germany was never on track to produce atomic weapons before their war economy was obliterated by the allies. The program was not taken seriously or had proper investment. The war machine was already severely starved of resources prior to their even more significant land losses in 1944. I honestly can’t even think of an alternate (realistic) timeline where they achieve a delivery system for atomic weaponry.
