Some one said to me that the five year cancer
survival rate in the past 10 years have not change is that true?
I found this data not sure what year it is from.

I'm planning a major update for all our cancer predictions on the timeline, as they're pretty old.
It's a bit complicated, as some cancers have got better, others have got worse.
The overall picture seems to be that the
incidence of cancer has increased, but survival outcomes are mostly improving. Deaths from cancer should be largely eliminated in the US by 2150 or so, even for the worst types like pancreatic cancer.
There's some useful data on this site:

Also normally they test in the lab than on mice first than start to test on people before the drug is allowed or not allowed by the FDA. And normally this takes 5 to 10 years.
So when you reading cancer section like here
viewtopic.php?f=17&t=294
Is it best to read 10 years ago on what may be coming out this year.

If you look at the stats here shows how they where back than compared today.

Back than some of them 65% well the worse ones are 10% and middle ones are 40% when comes to 5 year survival rate.

I honestly believe genetic engineering holds 90% of the promise to cure cancer, heart disease and extend life spans. Everything else is a joke outside of merging with machines.
It is literally the most powerful tool of this century medical wise.
We could make babies have extremely low odds of cancer, heart disease and with the highest intelligence.

Moore:s Law is a specific observation about electronics that is an application of the more general problem of growth phenomena...Almost all growth follows the logistic curve, where rate of change varies over time from very slow to very fast and then slows again at the inflection point until further acceleration goes to zero as the growth assymtoticslly approaches it's limit...
...eletronics/computers are new techs in their rapid growth stage. More classical sciences have been around for centuries and much less likely to experience any new shift in the old paradigms at this point. New discoveries are small increments, not large jumps.
Not sure what you mean are you saying eletronics/computers are new techs in their rapid growth stages but when comes to medicine it grows is much slower rate because it is past the rapid growth stages already?
Also if I’m not mistaken it is the US spending lots of money on cancer research and medicine where Japan, South Korea, Singapore, China and Taiwan hardly spend any money on cancer research and medicine but they spend lots money on eletronics/computers/robotics, AI and robots research.

How do you see the application of Moore's Law evolving in the context of emerging technologies like AI and robotics compared to more established fields like medicine?

I was reading some where 1 in 4 will get cancer in their life and that number is to get worse where one in three will get cancer in their life.
Why there is not all over the mainstream news.
I was looking for more threads on cancer topic and time lines on cancer prediction's.
