Robot Surgeries, Immunotherapies, Gene Therapies…with our increased capacities with technology, the world of cancer research and cures is exploding with possibilities. The next 10 years holds great promise. But for those of us struggling in the moment, at the end of our ropes, the future cannot come soon enough. The problem is that Cancer is not one specific disease, but rather many intersecting and interlocking diseases.
Nonetheless Precision medicine, which targets exact mutations, along with immunotherapy holds great promise as does stem cell research. Below are some of the most recent research findings. Some are more readable than others, but for you science wonks, or for those of you like me who are willful to understand, here are some peer reviewed findings from the research on cancer cures. They are categorized by subheadings: Gene Therapy, Immunotherapy, Stem Cell Research, Germ-line Therapy, etc..
