As NanoTech and BioTech merge we will soon find the cures to many of mankind's most pressing medical issues and perhaps cures for many types of cancers. Consider micro mechanical delivery systems to the concentrated areas where cancer cells are or even search and destroy systems, which will go through the body and weed out the cancer cells from the biosystem? How far are such technologies from reality? Not too far and some are ready to be tested on real humans, as they have already proven themselves effective in lab situations. One concept is to use micro thin carbon nano-tubes to deliver the medicine to the exact area cancerous area without hurting nearby healthy cells and the concept actually works, now it is only a matter of time to test it on humans, but really is only one of many such new techniques and technologies being considered today. Others are also in the pipeline and everyday some medical researcher or scientists thinks of another possible way to cure some type of cancer you see? Within the next two decades scientists and research and development labs may be well on their way to eliminating cancer deaths as one of the leading causes of deaths in the first world? Eventually thru economies of scale these new techniques can be made available to humans across the Globe, Imagine a World with no cancer? |
