Control treatment to prevent cancer recurrence rampant

For a long time, cancer is considered a worldwide problem.  Hope and recovery in the foreseeable future declining quality of life of cancer patients often make a lot of this "stubborn enemy," no war before self-defeating.  Even if the treatment, the traditional radiotherapy and chemotherapy in killing tumor cells, to obtain the same effect, as would joint response from normal cells, often there is a big side effects to patients brought a great deal of pain.  All this makes the unexpected cancer, even in the rapid development of medicine today, for most people, are still a "disaster."

In fact need not so. In an interview with "Life Times" reporter, the Chinese Academy of Engineering, renowned oncologist Professor Sun Yan had full confidence that with the continuous development of cancer research, people gradually deepened understanding of tumor can be quite sure that, through reasonable comprehensive treatment, many cancer treatment has been able to very satisfactory. Many tumors, such as breast cancer , colon cancer, if detected early the cure rate is very high.

The application of molecular targeted therapy more widely, as specific to cancer cells, the patient will bid farewell to the past, the traditional treatment of the enormous side effects, while the extended life to obtain a good quality of life, can serve more too. "As Chairman of the National Cancer Institute's, if cancer treatment in the 20th century is the 'search and destroy', to the 21st century, it becomes the 'target and control'. It is no exaggeration to say that, with the China has gradually entered the era of targeted therapy, cancer can certainly be kind of like high blood pressure as a chronic disease. "Sun Yan Yuanshi said.
New targeted therapy drugs continue to come out

Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences Cancer Hospital, vice president, medical director, said Professor Shi Yuankai, molecular targeted therapy by blocking the tumor cells or related cell signal transduction pathways to control gene expression changes in cells, which inhibit or kill tumor cells. Its greatest feature is that we can clearly identify the specific molecular target tumor cells, the application against the target of the drug. Therefore, the effect achieved while avoiding damage to normal tissue, the patient away from the "shoot to kill" fear. It also makes such high efficiency, low side effects of treatment mode, more and more doctors and the majority of cancer patients agree.
