The age-adjusted percent went down by 1%. Meanwhile total deaths went
up 5,400.

Unfortunately percents don't do the dying. Family members are who
dies. So the family members of 5,400 more patients suffered and cried.

How many tears? Isn't one too many?
What until Epigenetic treatments hit in force. The rate will start to
go down drastically. Some think cancer will be a thing of the past in
10 years including Kurzweil.

If I had a dollar for every time I've heard that in the past 30
years...........

Biotech is now starting to deliver. Researchers were looking only at
genes for a long time. Now they have discovered the software interface
layer (the epigenome). Via this programmable software layer environmental
factors affect cells for the worse or better, including causing cancers.
In principle, we should be able to reverse engineer these processes and
then re-program the software layer like a programmer fixes bugs in
operating systems like Windows.


Call me back when there is a single well-designed clinical trial showing
unequivocal evidence of meaningful benefit.
I'm not holding my breath
