Recent advances in cancer research have revolutionized diagnosis and treatment:
1. Targeted Therapy: Drugs designed to specifically target cancer cells based on their genetic mutations, sparing normal cells. 2. Immunotherapy: Treatments that harness the body’s immune system to fight cancer, such as checkpoint inhibitors and CAR-T cell therapy. 3. Liquid Biopsies: A non-invasive technique to detect cancer DNA in blood, allowing for early diagnosis and monitoring. 4. CRISPR: A gene-editing technology that has potential for correcting cancer-causing genetic mutations.
