The problem is that each cancer is different and responds to different treatments. What might work for one type won't work for another. Take lung cancer for example, there are two types and they are treated differently.Tosh5457 said:Every now and then, a news appears saying a new research could revert cancer on mice or something similar. But then I don't hear about them anymore. So what are the most promising research studies on curing cancer, and were there any promising researches before that failed when tested on humans?

Yes, there have been treatments that initially looked promising that failed. Too many to go into. Your questions are much too broad.
The most promising research studies on cancer's cure are currently focused on immunotherapy, personalized medicine, targeted therapy, combination therapy, and nanotechnology.
Immunotherapy is a treatment that works by helping the body's own immune system to fight cancer. This can be done by boosting the immune system or by using specific proteins or cells to target cancer cells.
Personalized medicine refers to tailoring medical treatment to an individual's unique characteristics, such as their genetic makeup. In cancer treatment, personalized medicine involves using genetic information to identify the specific mutations that are driving a person's cancer and developing treatments that specifically target those mutations.
Targeted therapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses drugs or other substances to target specific molecules within cancer cells. Unlike traditional chemotherapy, which kills both cancerous and healthy cells, targeted therapy aims to only kill cancer cells, resulting in fewer side effects.
Combination therapy involves using two or more treatments, such as chemotherapy and immunotherapy, together to treat cancer. This approach can be more effective than using a single treatment, as it can target different aspects of cancer growth and potentially reduce the chance of cancer developing resistance to a single treatment.
