Cancer, one of the deadliest diseases known to mankind, has always been a topic of research. With changes in medical science: new discoveries have been made that can help patients fight cancer more effectively.
Let us now focus on the new discoveries made in the field of cancer treatment.
One: The will to survive
Doctors and scientists have noted that patients with similar types of cancer and age react to treatment differently. According to various reports, the mind has a vital role to play in surviving cancer.
An article published on Stanford mentions the following:
“Researchers are now experimenting with methods of actively enlisting the mind in the body’s combat with cancer, using techniques such as meditation, biofeedback, and visualization (creating in the mind positive images about what is occurring in the body).”
Two: Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy is one of the most promising treatments against cancer. Immunotherapy uses the body’s own immune system to fight cancerous cells. Immunotherapy can be used alongside other treatments. Immunotherapy is also the standard treatment for some categories of cancers.
There are various kinds of immunotherapy and are used depending on the kind of cancer. Some types of immunotherapy are checkpoint inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, and vaccines. There are other types of immunotherapy referred to as biological therapies and targeted treatments. We will explore various kinds of immunotherapy in the next episode.
Three: New breakthroughs
From precision oncology to CAR-T-cell therapy, scientists and researchers are excited about new breakthroughs in cancer research. While precision oncology helps identify changes in cells that cause cancer, CAR-T-cell therapy recognizes and destroys cancer cells.
An article published on Gavi mentions the following:
“The treatment, called CAR-T-cell therapy, involves removing and genetically altering immune cells, called T cells, from cancer patients. The altered cells then produce proteins called chimeric antigen receptors (CARs). These recognize and can destroy cancer cells.”
In addition to precision oncology and CAR-T-cell therapy, scientists are working on various new breakthroughs, such as liquid and synthetic biopsies, AI, and DNA-based research.
Scientists have recognized how various treatments can help cancer patients survive the disease.
