A group of Israeli scientists say a cure for cancer is within reach, even optimistically predicting that it will be found within a year.
But at least one expert in the U.S. has questioned the potential cure's legitimacy and said it's more likely just another claim on a list of "irresponsible and ultimately cruel false promises" for cancer patients.
The company, Accelerated Evolution Biotechnologies Ltd. (AEBi), has described its treatment, MuTaTo, as comparable to a cancer antibiotic that uses a multipronged approach similar to the treatment given to HIV patients. The Israeli team told The Jerusalem Post that this treatment relies on a combination of several peptides for each cancer cell, reportedly eliminating the chances of evasion through mutation.
“We believe we will offer in a year’s time a complete cure for cancer,” Dan Aridor, of AEBi, told the news outlet.
The company's CEO, Dr. Ilan Morad, said MuTaTo also works to target cancer stem cells, eliminating the chances of recurrence, with Aridor claiming that it will be effective from "Day 1" and cause "no or minimal side effects at a much lower cost than most other treatments."
“Our solution will be both generic and personal," Aridor said.
But Dr. Ben Neel, director of Perlmutter Cancer Center at NYU Langone Health, is skeptical, telling Fox News via email: "Of course, curing cancer is the goal of everyone who comes to work every day at a cancer center — and if this company does, in fact, cure cancer, they will have my congratulations and thanks. But cancer is multiple diseases, and it is highly unlikely that this company has found a 'cure' for cancer, anymore than there is a single cure for infections."
The treatment has not been tested in humans yet, although Aridor said it has shown success in mice and is nearing the clinical trial stage.
Said Neel, "More likely, this claim is yet another in a long line of spurious, irresponsible and ultimately cruel false promises for cancer patients."

A lot of people have no interest in seeing a cure for cancer, & that includes persons in privately run pharmaceutical companies, R&D labs & treatment centers, as well as governments.

don't be, there's a reason why it's not promoted even though studies & data show there is a direct correlation between metformin use & reduced incidence of malignant tumors. No money in telling people using cheap off patent drugs reduces their risk for the disease

yup, & you've just proven beyond any shadow of a doubt that you happen to in fact be a professional idiot.
now, to firmly establish your superior illiteracy, show me where in my post I stated that someone was hiding something. not promoting a thing isn't the same thing as hiding it you simple minded lower primate.
My point is this
it is of no financial benefit for a private company to invest in R&D in or promote the off label use of an off patent drug that has shown significant potential as a preventive measure for a condition that they currently make billions from by selling their proprietary drugs to treat.
to quote an infamous pharmaceutical giant in my efforts to enlighten you, "we didn't develop this drug for poor Indians, we developed this drug for westerners that can afford to pay for it". If you really want something to do, try to figure out what he meant by that.

I agree, I was very skeptical too when I first heard about it but the explained that this was compounded research spanning many years and that any viable treatment for cancer comes many years apart.l33t2 wrote:Rage Warrior wrote:There is s cure for some cancers that will begin human trials later this year but it's not from the Israelis but US or Canada I think.

Problem is there are many potential treatments that have been found using mice, but then they fail to show any effects in human trials. Not saying this will be the case here (because I hope it's successful) but there's no magic cure around the corner (I know that's not what you're saying).
This doesn't take away that there have been many many successes in cancer treatment. It's just been slow steady progress rather than the magical cure we all want.
