New cancer pill shows promise; many doctors say too early to tell

It's being touted as a “cancer-killing pill,” with some scientists excited that they may have found the “holy grail” of cancer treatments. However, many oncologists are urging caution, as the drug continues to go through clinical trials.

I’m trying not to get too excited.

But….imagine if it really turns out to work?

As someone who lost my mom to lung cancer 2 1/2 years ago and a good buddy to kidney cancer a year ago, I pray and hope that this works for all those battling the disease and those who love them.

Here's a little more detail on how AOH1996 works and a link to the phase 1 clinical trial description.

Not to rain on the parade, but it’s still on phase 1- only a small percentage of drugs progress to clinical use from such early trials, and it typically takes a decade or longer.

You're not raining. We get it. But anytime there is something with a glimmer of promise it is worth being hopeful.

TBH, I look at stuff like this as clickbait- too many miracle cures have died on the vine. Wake me up when a successful phase 3 trial is complete.

worth being hopeful,for sure. I've lost a best friend to breast cancer and mother in law to the same.

but cancer is big business , big money for all involved - Drs, nurses, hospitals, hospice, chemo, drugs, etc.
I'm willing to bet they never 'find' a cure for cancer because it's too lucrative. firm believer that they already have a cure but it would put a lot of ppl and companies in the medical industry out of work. it's sad, truly sad.

A popular conspiracy theory, utter nonsense.

It didn't particularly need attention nor correction. Let the record stand as is. The reader will read and judge its merits.

Too much money for whoever has the cancer cure patent to pass up on.
