    Paywal, is it a cancer issue or is it “we made massive advancement treating other terminal conditions and now people live longer and it’s cancer what gets them”?

    we aren’t immortal, if in theory we were to cure every disease but one, said disease cases would increase a lot.

        ish, I think by now we’re pretty good at detecting it, still improving at earlier detection, but I think by now, very few people die from cancer without it being detected.

        Maybe compared with half a century ago, but not recently.
