Why are people afraid of cancer when it will probably go from a terminal condition to a chronic ailment within the next few years?
>lol why are people afraid of dying from horrible disease!?
fucking moron

and why would that be?

This.
The cure for cancer is a meme. You can never cure it. At most we will develop highly effective treatments, but they won't be 100% and they won't be the end of cancer.
>>7802937
do you have any substantiating, peer-reviewed evidence that it can't be cured? if not you should shut the fuck up.

There isn't just a single cancer.
Bronchitis is a chronic ailment, too, but it's still better to not have it.

bronchitis ain't chronic until they add the word "chronic" to the front of it
at that point they usually just call it OCPD though.

Immunotherapy is already available for people with lung cancer.
>>7803479
how is that even possible? isn't lung cancer one of the most sure-kill types out there? from what i learned you usually get 6 months - 1 year even with chemo/radiation.

which probably doesn't work because the technology is in its infancy

The difference is that you'll never be able to really stop irregular cellular division and catch it when it's a comparatively small number of cancerous cells. Which means that when it is caught it will be technically correct to say that they 'have cancer'.
We will have a cure for cancer but cancer will not have been cured.
