@TheAllMemeingEye not that I'm aware of! I do some work that's cardiac-adjacent so going through the list of questions I think might be relevant over the next few years based on what's on my radar. Probs will switch back to cancer questions soon to add some that are a bit more specific, but I've got a less of a knowledge base there.
@TheAllMemeingEye I was initially going to go for "Will we get a cure for heart disease before 2035?", but then got really into researching ongoing clinical trials and stuff. There's so many things for cancer though, I don't know where to start.
@RemNi ah ok, good to hear, I have no specialist knowledge in this area but was getting worried that the seemingly sudden switch from sci-fi futurism to such a specific illness was a cry for help
@TheAllMemeingEye Also, fun fact: atherosclerosis kills about the same (and more in some countries I believe) number of people as cancer does. There's just way less cultural awareness about it.
