Why don't we try and engineer around the problem. All cancers exist for the same reason - our immune system isn't picking them up.
Ideas?
1. Nano bots to replace immune system
2. Blood monitoring kits like Theranos tried.
3. Inmune system training kit that tries to encourage attacking cancer cells ( huge backfire potential )
(Disclaimer - I have no idea what I'm talking about )
1. Nano bots -- no idea; outside my wheelhouse.
2. Liquid Biopsy -- many companies are working on diagnostic tests to detect cancer early, monitor treatment, detect recurrence, etc. Some of these products are already available but most are in R&D phase.
3. Immuno-Oncology -- the most promising development in cancer treatment in a long time. Successful tumors evade the immune system by essentially hiding themselves. Many companies are working on treatments to assist immune system in different ways. Some products have been in the market for a while now and have been pretty successful.
One idea that comes to mind is making vastly improved LIMS and electronic patient recodkeeping software, as what is presently being used [bbcs] is from the 80s although this could be accomplished with just a front end written for it.
