As someone with both cancer survivors and people who have died from cancer in my family I couldn't be happier to hear about something like this.
Here's hoping it comes through!

Yeah it's a damn shame man.

Summing things up for me in regards to the topic, I think it is good that they are made a breakthrough like this. However, I just don't like how the news media just blows scientific facts out of proportion and "mirages" so to speak the actual facts.I take newspaper articles like these with a pinch of salt. Read with care .

Originally posted by Crazy Serb the most comonly known cure for cancer is OXYGEN! cancer cells apparently cannot survive in the presence of oxygen (or something to that effect).... however, since Oxygen cannot be trademarked and sold in a can by the gov't and whoever else is in charge of all the "medicines" in this world, they are looking for a more profitable cure that's in some pill/vaccine form

source pls.

wow, i can't believe i never heard of that one b4, might have to look into this some more.

If that were true (re oxygen), it doesn't matter about patenting, or money making. It would be used in hospitals, in fact if it did actually work and it wasn't patented people would be using it for the very fact it wasn't patented.
All it would take is a hospital or uni researcher to follow up on it and they would be world famous, nobel prize shit right there.

And you can patent the use of something.
For example, a process called PCR which is used to amplify DNA (you've seen it done on CSI I'm sure). That process is patented using a naturally occuring protein (Taq polymerase). The process of treating cancer with oxygen can be patented in the same way.

In addition, most malignant tumours have blood vessels that suply them with, of all things, oxygen which is required for tumour growth.

The reason (if true) it isn't widespread would be because of efficacy or practicality issues, not patents.

I'm too busy atm to look into this but if you want to send links I'll read them at some stage.
