How mRNA could help fight deadly cancer | DW News

This is amazing. I lost my mother and grandmother to pancreatic cancer. It’s crazy cause usually when you’re diagnosed with pancreatic cancer you’re already in stage 4.

[@saltynutzz]

I think something like 10% of people are diagnosed before stage 4. My friend Mum was diagnosed with stage four and she died like six months later. I think the survival rate is only one out of five after five years.

[@davidjones535]

I have it right now fond out last November

[@ceeemm1901]

The average tumor doubles about every 100 days. To put that into perspective, an average tumor of 1mm diameter takes 6 years to develop (virtually undetectable). A tumor of 10mm takes about 10 years. So for a tumor to be as big as a baseball will take decades. Tumors aren't mushrooms. They don't just pop up and you won't pick them up early because nobody just goes in for random scans. So everyone just has to wait for discomfort or feeling an unusual lump, which is often very late.

[@geekytraveler5899]

I don't like the intro a little bit - I think it's a bit confusing giving the impression like covid and mRNA vaccines did a kick-start for mRNA cancer treatment. While it's actually the opposite way. I used to work with LifeScience companies (from IT Consultancy side - but you're getting immersed in their whole business process). I'd say - those researches with mRNA were in progress way before COVID. The complexity of technology and investigations deeply impressed me. Actually seeing what and how they were doing in the area of cancer prevention with mRNA it was no surprise - they were able to produce the mRNA vaccines so simply and quickly. I know they appeared on market not immediately in 2019 but a year+ later - but that's due to need of 4 levels of trials, but the vaccine formula itself was done within first hours, I'm not kidding - not even days - it's becuase comparing to the level of complexity of cancer treatment - printing the mRNA for signatures of the virus, but removing the pathogenic body was in relative terms like to ask software developer to scan the page, copy-paste the header and print it - meaning - it's not my primary function - but it's no big deal... and if you're willing to pay big money for that - fine. So companies like pFizer and moderna took their chance for easy money. But the main battle and complexity in research facilities that were using mRNA was for a Cancer treatment for quite some years

[@TheWanderingFire]

☝️ THIS 👆

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

Absolutely true! mRNA for treatment therapy is NOT NEW! Like so many ignorant numpties seem to think. The initial look into using mRNA for various therapies, including cancer treatment, was begun over 50 years ago. AND there were TWO mRNA vaccines for human diseases already created. But it turned out that we didn't need them. The pathogens burned themselves out and did not become pandemic status. BUT... so many complete NUMPTIES never went to learn about that... they just "believed" the stupidity that they were fed.

[@nehalamba2747]

yes. Hindi version for us though mention that mRNA for COVID was successful within one year because work had already been done on mRNA for decades.

it is still very doubtfully that mRNA vaccines saved a lot of lives, because it was also used for people which did not need it. But I agree that mRNA can be used for cancer treatment. mRNA should only be used as a medication and not as a possibility to gain a lot of money.

[@pattressel3864]

Vaccines for infectious diseases are given IN ADVANCE to people who might be exposed to the disease later. Those people DO need it. The vaccine will prime their immune systems to start fighting the disease right away when they are exposed. Why would you want them to get really sick when exposed by withholding the vaccine? Such vaccines are not for the purpose of treating people who are already sick with the disease.

[@ErikMesserli]

Adding some detail to what NoneYaBusiness said. A vaccination basically tells you body that something is dangerous and that it should prepare to fight it. For infectious disease this of course means it only works if you take it before you get the disease. Thats how the vast majority of vaccines work. A cancer is a random mutation of one of your cells that your immune system doesn't think is dangerous, even though its killing you. With this tech the idea is to take a sample of the actual cancer a person has, make a vaccine, use it to teach the person's immune system that the cancer is dangerous and then have the immune system clear the cancer. Since cancers are random, this of course makes sense only once you are already diagnosed with cancer and a sample can be taken.

[@NullHand]

This is cancer immunotherapy. It is inherently highly risky because, at the biochemical level, cancer IS you. So you are training the immune system to attack self, and hopefully it stops at the rebellious hyper-reproducing portion of self. The danger of these therapies are very like radiation and chemotherapy in that respect. Not something that anybody will get unless the alternative is a guaranteed lingering nasty death from an existing malignancy.
