Cancer remains a leading area of research for scientists around the world. Today, cancer is getting younger, the incidence is growing, and so far the disease is winning in many cases. Despite the sad statistics, there are significant successes in the early diagnosis and treatment of cancer, and there are many of them. We have selected the main scientific results of clinical and preclinical studies that have great potential for implementation in medical practice. The Hi-Tech+ collection contains new treatments for various types of tumors, breakthrough discoveries in the nature of cancer, successes of new diagnostic tools and scientific advice on how to protect yourself from cancer.
Oncological diseases are truly “getting younger.” According to new data, in more than 200 countries, cancer has become younger by 79% over the past thirty years, and the statistics are only set to get worse in the next decade. At the same time, not only morbidity, but also mortality is increasing. During the same period, the death rate increased by almost 30%. The main reasons are called lifestyle, but we will talk about this a little later. Let's start with the main results and breakthroughs in the field of nature and cancer treatment in 2023.
Cancer is called the most difficult disease for a reason. Scientists have been struggling for decades to understand the nature of tumor development, but still have not found a universal mechanism. But scientific experiments are discovering unique cancer pathways that can be used to treat different types of tumors.
One study shows how cancer evades the immune system and metastasizes. It turns out that cancer deliberately depletes immune cells so that they lose their ability to destroy the tumor. Interestingly, even when scientists used therapy to relieve stress on immune cells, some eventually burned out and could no longer do their job. It is noteworthy that in another work, researchers traced the path that a cell takes from a healthy state to a cancerous one.
