One of the most revolutionary advancements in cancer treatment is immunotherapy. This approach harnesses the body's immune system to fight cancer. Drugs known as immune checkpoint inhibitors have shown remarkable success in treating various types of cancer, including melanoma and lung cancer. Targeted therapy is another cutting-edge treatment that focuses on specific genetic changes in cancer cells. These therapies are designed to block the growth and spread of cancer by interfering with specific molecules involved in tumor growth and progression. Additionally, advancements in radiation therapy such as proton therapy have significantly improved the precision of radiation delivery, reducing damage to surrounding healthy tissues.
