Today the issue of cancer is quite acute. Cancer is one of the most frequently asked about fields of medicine. Scientific and technological progress do not stand still, which makes it possible to improve and create new effective methods for diagnosis and treatment of malignant neoplasms.
INNOVATION IN THE TREATMENT OF CANCER IN ISRAEL
Traditionally, one of the countries with the most developed medicine is Israel,especially in the treatment and diagnosis of cancer. Thanks to mass research and active application of scientific developments, Israel occupies one of the leading positions in the world.
For a second in this country, clinical trials that allow doctors to significantly expand the boundaries of modern medicine do not stop. Over the past few years, many new therapeutic approaches have been developed and have been actively used.
BREAKTHROUGH IN CANCER DIAGNOSIS
One of the major problems is the issue of timely diagnosis of neoplasms. Especially in case of breast cancer diagnostics in female.
Traditionally, different variations of mammography are used across the world, despite the good results of this method, it is not devoid of shortcomings.
The main disadvantage of mammography is X-ray radiation. Such diagnostics can be contraindicated for women under 35, pregnant and breastfeeding women.
Today, a new approach to diagnostics based on the detection through infrared radiation (MIRA) is used, invented by Israeli specialists. The purpose of this investigation is to determine the difference between infrared radiation, obtained from healthy tissues and tissues with a cancerous process. Thus, analyzing the range of infrared radiation with the newly created RUTH apparatus, doctors can determine the presence of an oncologic neoplasm in the breast tissue with an accuracy of up to 90%, while it is absolutely safe for the patient himself.
ACHIEVEMENTS IN PRECISION OF DIAGNOSES
Another work in the field of oncology diagnostics was the device MarginProb. This device is based on electromagnetic radiation, which is generated and sent to a specific point. Thanks to this technique, doctors can determine the boundaries of healthy and cancer tissues as accurately as possible and selectively remove them, affecting the healthy body tissue as little as possible.
MEDICINE, WHICH ACTS DIRECTLY ON TUMOR
Israeli scientists are actively working on the issue of gene therapy for cancer.
Therapy with monoclonal antibodies has become a real breakthrough in modern cancer therapy.
The essence of this method is that monoclonal antibodies label tumor cells, thereby increasing their vulnerability to the immune cells of the patient’s body.
This method is absolutely safe and can be used either alone or in combination with chemotherapy.
FINDING “BREAK” IN THE GENE, WHICH CAUSES CANCER
It has long been proven that a cancerous process triggers from an immune malfunction due to a disruption in the work of one of the genes (gene p53). Specialists are in search of ways to influence this gene in order to maximize its activation. Theoretically, this can lead to the complete disappearance of cancer.
VACCINATION AGAINST CANCER
Developments continue in the field of vaccination against different cancer types.
The scheme of action of anticancer vaccines is almost the same as vaccination against infectious diseases.
The main principle of the vaccine is to teach the immune cells to recognize the cancer cells as precisely as possible and to destroy them in a timely manner.
Modern medicine is already actively using vaccines against certain types of cancer.
SOUTH KOREA – A NEW LEADER IN THE TREATMENT OF CANCER?
One of the most successful countries in the field of cancer treatment is also South Korea. This country uses advanced technologies and a personalized approach to each case.
Specialists apply the most innovative and most effective approaches in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
HIPEC THERAPY AGAINST CANCER WITH METASTASES
Recently, hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has been used here. This is a special kind of therapy, which is not possible in every case. The effectiveness of the method is difficult to underestimate, the heated solution is injected directly into the tumor zone which circulates there for up to 1.5 hours affecting the area locally.
LOW TEMPERATURES AGAINST CANCER
Specialists in the Korean clinics actively apply innovative tactics of chemo-, radio- and cryoablation. One of the popular treatment methods of choice in the field of oncological pathology is cryoablation. This method allows to treat with cold temperatures. Ultra-low temperatures destroy tumor formations, quickly without any pain and is absolutely safe for the patient. This procedure takes no more than 10 minutes depending on the size of the tumor.
