RE: #11 [MedBlog] – Neoplasia & Cancer [Part 2]: Development of Cancer & Risk Factors

in Education4 years ago

Cancer can be scary as fuck especially in developing countries.

I only had basic oncology classes while in the University. This is s very well detailed and in-depth mini tutorial on the subject. My lecturer then taught us that through dermatoglyphics, medical science can predict possibility of developing cancer in later years, hence such individual will be monitored.

However, learning about the possibility of gene editing, and recognizing the specific genes that causes various cancer, medical science will be able to put an end to the menace of the unhindered proliferation of cells.

Definitely true! - thanks for sharing your experience & knowledge. Targeting cancers at the genome level is definitely the ultimate goal - still a lot of research to be done!
