If it seems as if this year has featured one report after another about Donald Trump and his team effectively giving up on combating cancer, it's not your imagination.

"It will take decades to recover from this, if we ever do." America's cancer research system, which has helped save millions of lives and is in one of its most productive moments, is under threat by the Trump administration.

It would be interesting id Donald Trump finally dies of cancer.

Now, I am absolutely sure that the man thinks he will never die.

It will all come as a shock to him.

He's not dying anytime soon.

Medical science has a lot of new tricks up its sleeves for rich people.

China has made significant advances in cancer treatment through increasing innovative drug development, the approval of novel therapies like EGFR-TKIs and PD-1/PD-L1 mAbs, and pioneering research in areas such as oncolytic viruses, AI-driven drug discovery, and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Breakthroughs include a treatment that makes tumors mimic "pork" to trigger an immune response and a protocol that improves early diagnosis and survival for lung cancer patients. These advancements are reflected in a growing number of clinical trials, improved survival rates, and new therapies being integrated into clinical practice and the national healthcare system.

Meanwhile in America, the Trump administration has shut down cancer research because for profit healthcare industry is making billions treating cancer.

This is of particular concern for someone like myself who has been given a chance to survive longer than I would have 11-years ago, before the cancer drug regimen that I'm now on was available. And I suspect that federal research dollars played a significant role in the development of the drugs which make up this regimen.

Cancer treatment helps people live longer so they can use the social security and medicare they've paid into over their entire working lives.

But NO! Take some DOGE, bitches! Only the weak will parish.
