Cancer

Cancer, malignant tumor or malignant neoplasm was a curable interstellar virus which had inflicted nearly 1 ½ dozen known planets as of the 25th century, being cured on nearly 70% of them.

Cancer was primitively treated via operations known as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, stem cell transplants, and as of the 22nd century gene therapy via TP53, a tumor suppressing gene in elephant-like animals.

As of the 25th century Cancer was treated by injecting microbes into infected regions, seeking out cancer cells, surrounding all affected locations and then breaking up the cancer cells into inert biomolecules.

Crataxia had treated Cancer since the 20th century Crataxian Calendar.
