From the source paper at https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-05812-3:

>The rate of complete remission or complete remission with partial haematologic recovery (CR/CRh) was 30% (95% confidence interval (CI) 18.8–43.2) in 18 of 60 evaluable patients with undetectable measurable residual disease (MRD)

So, not terrible - but still not a silver bullet.

A bullet nonetheless, u/silverbolt2000. Not everything needs to be sliver.

Yep, we may have figured out a cure for 30% of people.

Needs further testing and a larger sample size to confirm. But progress is always good

The real question is, have they tried silver?

It's a good idea to incentivize companies to invest in moon-shot treatments for cancer that only have a 1-2% chance of success.

It's only specific types of cancer and it's also not as curative as the title makes it sound. It's a step in the right direction at least

Oh for fucks sakes don't cure cancer publicly. They will have to invent something worse.
