Medical science has advanced to a point where curing some of the most dangerous illnesses is no longer just a dream. It now appears we may be only a few steps away from completely eradicating them. A surprising claim has recently gained attention after a medical student from Budapest announced that “cancer, blindness, and paralysis could be fully eliminated by 2030″. According to this digital creator, scientists worldwide are employing advanced vaccines, modern treatments, and cutting-edge technologies to combat these conditions.
Big Hope For Deadly Diseases
According to the medical student, Chris Chrysanthou, “Here are three diseases that are expected to be completely eradicated by 2030. Number one, cancer. Forget chemo, researchers are now using mRNA cancer vaccines to train your immune system to attack tumours like an army. Personalised vaccines, genetic editing and even small drugs are in the final testing stages. With many experts believing that cancer might soon be treatable, manageable and no longer deadly.”
“Number two, blindness. Thanks to gene editing and stem cells, patients with retinal diseases are regaining sight. Projects in already helped two blind patients see again, and a new tech called prime editing could fix the genetic mutations causing inherited blindness. Number three, paralysis. In China, two people with full paralysis walked again using a combo of brain implants and spinal cord stimulation. The brain literally sent signals directly to the legs, bypassing the spinal injury,” the medical student added.
Internet Shares Mixed Reactions
Reacting to the post, a user wrote, “Science is such a wonderful thing.”
Another shared, “As long as the pharmaceutical industry makes money and the cancer industry makes money. It will never be a cure for cancer. It is too lucrative. I wish that were true, but in America, only money rules.”
“If they can cure blindness by 2030, will they also cure nearsightedness and farsightedness using those same gene therapy & stem cells?!? Ridding myself of eye doctor appointments would be a miracle,” a comment read.
An individual stated, “Diabetes, too. Researchers in China have found a way to cure Diabetes.”
Another mentioned, “I thought you were gonna mention HIV cause there’s been some word that the cure is very near with successful data.”
One more added, “Let’s hope it becomes available and affordable to the masses and those who really need it.”
Cancer Rate In India
Recent cancer data plays a crucial role in planning strategies to control, treat, and reduce the disease’s impact. A study titled Unveiling the Cancer Epidemic in India: A Glimpse into GLOBOCAN 2022 and Past Patterns, published in The Lancet, examined cancer incidence and mortality in India using data from The Global Cancer Observatory (GLOBOCAN) 2022.
The report highlights cancer as a major health concern in India, placing the country third worldwide in total cancer cases, second in cancer-related deaths, and 121st in global crude rates. The likelihood of developing cancer rises with age, particularly among older adults. The study analysed the disease’s impact across different age groups and corresponding mortality rates, while also projecting future cases based on historical trends. It found that children and young adults face the lowest risk, whereas middle-aged and older individuals have the highest probability of both developing cancer and dying from it.
