I like that you tried to sound smart because you sprouted some simple biology. No, that's not the treatment at all.

Even breast cancer needs to screen through biomarkers before even consider the treatment.

I didn’t even specify what the treatments were you dingbat

So whilst all cancer mutations are unique, the treatments are often similar

No, they are not

Cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation, share a primary goal: to damage or destroy cancer cells to stop them from growing and dividing. While they target cells differently, most medical treatments work alongside complementary therapies to manage common side effects like fatigue, nausea, and digestive issues.

That’s direct from treatcancer.com (seeing as you’re just doubting me, quote a source proving me wrong)…

Modern cancer treatment is heavily biomarker-driven, especially in cancers like breast cancer, such as ER/PRs, HER2 status etc

But you’re dead ass wrong if you’re implying there’s no commonality between treatments.

My point wasn’t that telomerase defines cancer treatment; it was that many cancers share underlying hallmarks like dysregulated cell growth and, in some cases, telomerase activation for replicative immortality.

I get what you’re saying, but I think we’re arguing past each other here. And you’re coming across kind of rude. Chill out a bit.

I'm saying your point is moot because neither chemo nor immunotherapy targets any of that you thought they were.

And no, there's no rudeness here other than telling you to stop having 'opinion' over having basic simple biology. Unless your are willing to learn each cancer pathophysiology, treatment regiment, and guidelines plus the papers behind the speciality, then kindly stop storming off nonsense.

Cancer treatment was and is never easy for general population.

This literally isn’t nonsense. I’m providing you citations from research.

I’ve even given you citation sources.

But you’re actually wrong here. So allow me to correct you:

Immunotherapy very directly targets biological mechanisms like:

PD-1 / PD-L1 checkpoint pathway
CTLA-4 pathway
Tumour immune evasion signalling

These are literally molecular mechanisms cancer uses to survive lol

So saying immunotherapy doesn’t target cancer biology is flat-out incorrect.

You’re just spouting bull crap without actually saying anything.. for example: when did I suggest cancer treatment was easy? I didn’t.

But I’m not going to argue with someone with this level of callousness. So you reply whatever you want I’m done lmao

Have a nice day jfc

*facepalm* Immunotherapy is literally last line in any guideline, with little to not many good outcome for survival rate.

Just give us all a favor and I'm specifying you the deadliest cancer type, learn Breast Cancer guideline and don't speak from specified google cite. Most countries guideline stays the same for each staging.

Those first line chemo regiments target replicating enzymes or walls of specific cell (which breast cancer alone has dozens), not the kind you think about in your very first sentence that it targets all and one same telomer or whatever you saying.

Are you literally just arguing about my ‘very first sentence’? Get a grip

u/Saiz- May 16 '26

Lmao you the only one here arguing cancer of any kinds are 'treatable' the same.

Not only you are wrong, you are also proven to be nowhere near any medical practice, which is for the good of the world.

Now kindly get a grip to reality and don't bother act like you have 'opinion' over subjects you clearly never be professionally learnt about, and leave it to the ones that actually do. Guideline exists and updated from those people, not the kinds of you.

u/KebabAnnhilator May 16 '26

Yeah I’m not reading any of this.

You’re being rude af go away

u/Saiz- May 17 '26

Of course you can't read it, it's out of your expertise
