Talk:Cancer cell

Page needs protection
This article is getting continually vandalized by IPs and no one is noticing or reverting or stopping it. The article needs at least semi-protection. I only discovered this by accident when I tracked the edits of an IP who was serially vandalizing an unrelated article. Softlavender (talk) 01:59, 1 January 2014 (UTC)


 * In this sentence "Some descriptions of cancer, not all descriptions, go back to ancient Egypt as far back as 1600 BC" I guess "not all descriptions," makes no sense and should be jut dropped.  In addition I have heard from an Indian 2000 year old medical book where Cancer has been mentioned and treated with Natriumhydrogen Carbonate, similar to modern treatments like by Oncologist Dr. Simoncini of Rome, Italy or here: http://drsircus.com/medicine/cancer/is-cancer-a-fungus  Mocvd (talk) 21:29, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
