Very sorry for you Vernon. It’s almost as devastating to lose a parent unnecessarily early as a child.

There are a lot of newer things with positive clinical trials fighting cancer.
Ivermectin
Methylene Blue
Hyperbaric Chambers
Fasting
Interesting one to me is the castor oil stories.

With the type of cancer i had the tumors deposit LDH protein in the blood from eating at organs, in my case it was my right kidney and uterer that was being destroyed four years ago. Now I get the full screen of blood and DNA testing.
I was curious as to why they can't find cancer in your blood.
Stem cell transplant process is no joke but it saved my life. I was in the hospital for the better part of four months going through it and had an eight month recovery after where I was in isolation away from the world. TD helped me keep my sanity through it.

So are these clinical trials....or stories?
If they're clinical trials can you send us a link? I don't think I've ever heard of clinical trials on the procedures you described above.

If you’re that curious, why don’t you go looking?
This is no time to be lazy and act like everyone is your personal research assistant. A fried chicken doesn’t just fly into your mouth.

Lost both my parents to cancer within a two year time span and it was a very unpleasant thing to witness both times. If they could ever stamp it out for good that would be a very positive development

Smells like bs. I posted the profit margins of two of the largest.
Pfizer makes a lot of different drugs. They make the highest profits on oncology drugs. Something like Advil maybe not so much. It’s not hard to understand. Whatever profits they report is all bs anyway. Every single one of them are frauds and have been outed as so

Because they don't exsist...
Your mother's mailman's cousin's maid doesn’t know a lick about cancer treatments, but they feel compelled to post idiocy on an anonymous message board.
Those here posting rumors, folk remedies, and hearsay should consider themselves blessed that they've never had to deal with cancer on a personal level.
To those that actually want to make a difference and help those in the battle, reach out and I can show you how.

I replied to someone posting about profit margins for the companies not a cherry picked med. The source you cited is a leftist political hack site. It's the equivalent of using Media Matters as a source.

They’ve had millions upon millions of dollars for research over the last couple decades. That’s not the problem. They have had great results with multiple other alternative treatments yet they keep pumping people with poison that kills all your healthy cells. The revenue made off cancer treatments is up over $200 Billion in the last decade I believe and Big pharma is operating at a 90% profit margin. Let that sink in but yea they care about you
There's a lot of dumb people and statements in this thread, but you're separating from the herd.

Profit from cancer drugs
A study found that Big Pharma makes up to 90% profit on expensive cancer treatments. A 2010-2019 study found that the proportion of total drug revenue from cancer drugs increased from 14% in 2010 to 25% in 2019.
You're clearly out of your depth so I'm not even sure why I'm responding...but anyway.
You said "Pharma profits" (all of them) are "up 90%"
The quote you provided says they "make up to 90% profit" on "expensive cancer treatments".
So that stat only references the "expensive" ones, only those that have received approval, does not factor in the cost of the clinical trial program for the approved drug (which is in the billions of dollars), and does not factor in other capital outlays and losses for products and trials that failed prior to approval. It's a meaningless stat intended for people like you who have no clue what they're talking about.
For reference, it usually takes Pharma companies 12-15 years to break even overall on a newly approved drug...which is why patents exist.

Because a viable new drug candidate can make you billions instead of millions. There are dozens of clinical stage Pharma companies working to develop one single molecule, all with the goal of getting acquired by big Pharma right around phase 1, because those companies have the deep pockets and resources to get them to and through phase 3 and commercialized. Though many fail even in phase 3 at the last minute, so that can be ~$2B gone (not counting the cost of the acquisition.)

How are they cherry picked when this whole thread is on cancer. Oncology drugs are expensive as frick for no reason at all. Right and I posted facts that you don’t agree with which is not my problem. Facts don’t lie. They literally did a decade study.

The burden of proof is on the one making the dumb statement. Without it I've already dismissed it as nonsense.

So you're clearly a moron, but just wanted to point out here that you're now confusing two claims. The last you were attempting to make was on profit margins, this is about the countries where the most revenue is made. And yes, it almost always is highest in the US, for a whole host of reasons.
You should look up "Dunning–Kruger effect".

Interesting this got brought up. 4 months before my kidney cancer diagnosis, I was screened by the Galleri blood test for cancer. They say it can detect over 50 cancers, including kidney cancer. It unfortunately missed mine. Ultimately was detected by CT for something totally unrelated.
There's no substitute for imagery for tumor cancers. Everyone should try to get scanned - a CT, MRI, even ultrasound... something. I wish it were covered by insurance, say, every 5 years or something. Would save many lives.
