      I'm often asked whether there's a hidden cure for #cancer being suppressed. A common narrative is that a cancer cure would ruin the profits of "big pharma", and so they'd use their power to suppress it. Certainly it's a popular belief - but it's wrong. Here's why: THREAD (1/10)pic.twitter.com/Yvvuf0yPdC

      So what is cancer? It's an entire class of diseases, with over 200 known types. Cancer can stem from virtually any cells type, with hugely varied prognosis & treatment options. What unifies all cancers is that they are the result of unregulated cell division (2/10)pic.twitter.com/BzYDnsBxbz

      It's even more complex too - cancers arise from mutations in our own cells. Every cancer is unique as the person who has it. This is a stark contrast to things like viruses and bacteria, which have some specific genetic fingerprint we can seek out - cancer IS us (3/10)pic.twitter.com/OAQpH9QbJv

      This is why there's no "magic bullet" for cancer - each type unique as the patient, and respond differently to treatment. That's why we have lots of different treatment approaches ; radiotherapy, chemotherapy, surgery, immunotherapy. Complexity is why there's no easy cure. (4/10)pic.twitter.com/w8qMlH45bN

      Just in the middle of an argument on fb about the latest cancer "breakthrough" from Israel.
