mRNA vaccine technology applied to pancreatic cancer: preliminary data is VERY encouraging

[outside shooter]

One of the exciting things about mRNA vaccines is its relative simplicity and potential applications to other diseases, even outside of the realm of infectious diseases. Such as priming your immune system to better attack and eliminate tumors.

BioNTech, the co-inventor of the "Pfizer vaccine", just reported some very exciting data on pancreatic cancer, one of the very hardest-to-successfully-treat cancers that exists.

This blog report gives an accessible summary of the results and links to the study. Caveat: ONLY 16 patients, and 50% protection from disease re-occurance, where <10% is the norm. Obviously not a cure-all, but that difference, even with only 16 patients, is suggestive of a robust effect, for a disease that basically lacks effective treatments at the moment.

How many heart attacks will it cause tho?

That would be wonderful. My daughter has a genetic increased risk for pancreatic cancer

You're not going to be able to tell with such a small study.

But let's say you have the following choices to treat your pancreatic cancer:

1) Say "no vaccine for me!" and (we know) you'll have a 5-year survival rate of 10% (it's actually lower, by most estimations, but I am being generous). With 466,003 new cases per year in the USA, that's 419,403 deaths in 5 years by any cause (most often: by cancer returning with a vengence).

2) Say "yes, vaccine for me!" and you get (perhaps) a 5-year survival rate of 50%. That's 233,001 people that lived when they would have otherwise died.

Now, if you know that (say) 1,000 of those 233,001 survivors will have a heart attack in that 5 years after treatment, when (say) only 800 of them would be expected to have a heart attack, based on their age and health history. Would you take it? Of course you would, if you are smart, if it indeed has stats like that for (say) 5,000 patients instead of 16.

Hopefully the same as the Covid vaxx...virtually none.

But they didn’t die of Panc Cancer. This is Pulitzer level shit!

 

[larsIU]

OS posts story about science. Encouraging stuff. Obviously not settled, etc.
Gets roasted b/c COVID vaccine appears to, maybe, possibly, don't know yet, caused some heart conditions.
OS notes, well ok but you don't die of CANCER!
Get roasted all the same.

Sometimes people are just posting science. Laughing at it b/c you disagreed with OS on COVID is.....not making board better.

How many heart attacks will it cause tho?

Pretty dumb statement... even for the king of stick up his ass. Could anyone possibly insert one further. I say no...

What if, here me out, it only causes heart attacks in women, LGBTQ, black people, Chinese and Latinos ... then you're all in, right?

It’s good to have our attack dog back.

You know certain posters here don’t like him because he calls out their Bull S.

Just quoting its own response to posts about 50% of the time because it thinks its too cool for anyone else.

You misspelled “weasel”.

Why are you tagging me for this bullshit? As long as you think Cray should be allowed to throw whatever insults he wants while liberal posters get threadlocked for even posting the wrong emoji, you can kiss off.

You left out Boomers. He hates Boomers.

Did you lose your mod powers?

No, but he also didn't lose his prima donna powers, either.

He wanted to be the good guy with a gun. Now he's afraid to use it.

I think he just convinced himself that you're horrendously unfair, and he's desperately trying to find examples to justify his belief.

Yep I believe he’s unfair.

I'm only horrendously unfair to one person. That makes me consistent.

Good, let them all alone.

 

[TheOriginalHappyGoat]

Good, let them all alone.

Then please don't tag me in posts you think should be left alone. If you want to do something about it, do it. If not, don't. Either way, wallow in your own shit.

I need to be a mod. Not counting other mods, I would ban all but about 8 posters:
1.Brad
2. Marvin
3. Lars
4. MCM
5. IUcrazy
6. Sope
7. Lucy
8. Either COH or MTIOTF, but not both.
(I’m sure I left out a couple, but not many.)

Hell, make me a mod, and I would promise to never post.

 

[Noodle]

An interesting thread rendered useless in 8 words. Well done.

It makes you something else too.

Sounds good to me. Could be tagging you regarding TMP post hit close to home.

Keep your PMs to yourself.

Come on dude. You have to bow to king Mark, or else.

Grow up.

 

[stollcpa]

Grow up.

You ever ban TMP?

 

[Bulk VanderHuge]

I would be open to alternating weeks.

 

[TheOriginalHappyGoat]

I would be open to alternating weeks.

That would work, since MTIOTF can start a month's worth of threads in about 15 minutes flat.

I think I’m honored. . . . or offended . . . . Hell, maybe both

Actually, I was adding you. I knew I would leave someone off.
Sorry about that…you can fine me
But then, I have to add Hoopsdoc, bawlmer, and Stuffshot.
But, that’s it.
