The
COMMITTED for example, which mutations within a tumor drive a patient’ s cancer to be treated by that specific therapy. Not only does this increase the efficacy of medical therapies, but it also aims at reducing unwanted side effects.
Advanced Medical Devices Think of a watch which will not just tell you the time but will also indicate precursory symptoms of respective illnesses. Advanced medical devices and robotics are really making this a reality. Present robotic surgery enables surgeons to perform extremely complex procedures with high precision and a minimal risk. Using robotic arms controlled by a surgeon, these systems allow surgeons to perform minimally invasive surgeries, which reduces patient recovery times and improves outcomes. Smartwatches and fitness trackers are wearable devices that monitor key health metrics such as heart and oxygen levels. With this innovation, one takes control of his health and prevents eventualities-that most often happen when conditions are already severe.
Recent Breakthroughs Did you know that it was a cutting-edge vaccine technology that helped stop a worldwide crisis? Another revolution is that of immunotherapy. Imagine that your body could fight an
attack of cancer the same way it fights off a common cold: this is the idea, in general, of immunotherapy whose treatments build on using the immune cells in the body to find and destroy cancer cells within the organism. Checkpoint inhibitors, CAR T-cell therapy, and other similar types are bringing hope for patients with previously incurable cancers. In this manner, it is transforming the landscape of oncology by providing newer and safer alternatives and more powerful ways to treat instead of conventional methods like chemotherapy.
