Recent advances in cancer treatment have revolutionized the outlook for many patients. Some key developments include:
Immunotherapy: This treatment harnesses the body’s immune system to fight cancer cells and has shown promise in treating cancers like melanoma and lung cancer. Targeted Therapy: These drugs specifically target cancer cells without affecting normal cells, leading to fewer side effects and better efficacy. Precision Medicine: Tailoring treatment based on the genetic profile of the patient and the cancer can lead to more effective and personalized treatment plans.
