Can nanobots cure cancer?

[much_word]

Ok, so basically nanobots are some microscopic robots that are researched and developed more than we could think of. Nanobots are believed to be able to perform specific tasks at the molecular/atomic/cellular level.
There has been some experiments with successful results but we all are a bit skeptical about having tiny mechanism traveling in our body.. right?
I've seen this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNYb7urwrf4 that shows how this technology works for terminal cancer. It has only been tested on mouses for now but it had great results. Hopefully it can be available for humans too. I think it's awesome what the development of technology can do nowadays.. Don't you?

Yes and no. Transistors are already smaller than blood cells. Powering the transistors are quite tricky; they could run using biological engines.

However, it's quite difficult to build machines to detect "cancer cell vs normal blood cell" at a nano scale. I was reading some about electrical impedance to detect HIV in cells to systematically destroy blood cells that hold that; but it seemed like a nearly dead end (even with traditional machines).

Thank you for helpful information. In my opinion, people can scan to detect cancer cells, so I think if they can create nanobots that are small enough to touch to cancer cells, they will have solution for detecting it.

Every person creates cancerous cells every day. Most healthy people have immune systems that nature created to destroy these cells, but for a variety of reasons, some immune systems fail. Most "treatments" or "cures" are designed to replace some of the functions of the immune sytem, and they often weaken it. It would be far better if research focused on maintaining healthy immune systems, and not on generating profits for Big Pharma, Obvious preventative measures are the banning of toxins in food, prevention of eugenics machines such as 5G, stop using immune system destructive vaccines, stop the distribution of aerosols via con trails, and all the other modern tricks used by our lords and masters.

I agree with this. Even if curing cancer could be made possible by nanobots, only the wealthy would be able to afford it as I expect it to be extremely expensive. Especially if it will garner 100% cure, these nanobot treatment won't come cheap I'm sure. And I agree with the Jet Cash, it might be better if they focus more on maintaining healthy immune systems. Not that this isn't a great idea. But using it as preventive measure will be more beneficial especially to families that have history of cancer.

As far as I know, nano bots do not cure cancer. They can prevent it in advance. These small nano bots are introduced into the body, and they monitor the state of the body, and when something is found, they let it be known.

i still can't get what is nanobots?

Yeah, I don't think nanobots can cure cancer, per se. But they will help prevent or diagnose the disease, which I think, is still a medical breakthrough. In a way, these advantages in technology are crucial to the humanity's health and wellbeing in the future. Do you agree?

Tricky. Some might say that cancer is nature's way of controlling the proliferation of its greatest enemy:mankind. If cancer no longer were an issue and everyone died past 100, or not at all, quality of life for everyone could very well go down. It's because we see death as something that's bad that we think such advancements are good.

Yeah sure nanobots it in the future can cure and repair almost everything. There was this Tv show Stargate Atlantis(sci-fi) that showed how can nanobots can cure and repair the neurons or even heal your broken legs. I guess humanity will achieve this kind of technology in 100 years or less. by the way, I recommend that Tv show "Stargate Atlantis"
