I thought that during the whole X-Wing series (and in particular the Kryptos Trap), they used bacta to heal the alien-attacking plague that Ysard unleashed on Coruscant.

Quite a bit. Burns are cells that are injured/killed due to excessive heat. Cancer is defective cells that multiply unchecked. Put simply, a burn can be healed/repaired, depending on it's severity (3rd degree is pretty much a lost cause without prosthetic intervention, though-- there's a lot of tissue necrosis)-- cancer is a whole 'nother beast.NhikRath wrote:It brings up the question of what bacta does exactly. Can it cure severe burns? If so, what's the difference between that and curing skin cancer?
Antibiotics don't do anything for aiding injuries. The topical forms used on healing wounds are simply there to prevent infection.Does bacta make cells multiply faster, is it a miracle "super-antibiotic" that prevents scars, or is it actually "smart?" (Does it do something similar to that regenerative machine in The Fifth Element?)
