Are there any promising new treatments for cancer?
Yes, research is continually advancing in the field of cancer treatment. Some of the promising new treatments include:
- CAR T-cell therapy: This is a type of immunotherapy where a patient's T cells are modified to attack cancer cells. - CRISPR: A gene-editing technology that shows potential in correcting genetic defects that cause cancer. - Liquid biopsies: These are blood tests that can detect cancer at an early stage. - Nanotechnology: Using nanoparticles to deliver drugs directly to cancer cells, minimizing damage to healthy cells. - Cancer vaccines: These are designed to prevent cancer or treat existing cancers by boosting the immune system.
