Re:The curious DNA circles that make treating cancer so hard by tiborsaas on Sunday October 03, 2021 @05:15AM (#28735692)
We could sample the actual cancer in the patient and custom print an mRNA cure to that specific person for maximum accuracy.

The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine was created in hours after Covid was sequenced. So this might not be a too far fetched idea.

Easier said than done, but yes most mRNA companies are trying the non-personalized and personalized cancer vaccine idea. The issue is the immune system is held back, like a big bouncer holding you back in a fight. Checkpoint inhibitors remove that bouncer, but now you're drunk and throwing fists all over the place, hitting both your friends, the bouncer, and the hooligans at the same time...
