Medical science is on the cusp of huge advances in our ability to cure cancer. For decades, progress relied on slow lab work, chance discoveries, and chemotherapy that harmed healthy cells as much as tumors.
Artificial intelligence, liquid biopsies, quantum computing, and precision medicine are already saving lives. Unfortunately these therapies are currently available in only a very few of the most advanced hospitals and major universities, and often only through participation in clinical trials. Many patients never hear about them, or discover them too late. This book is a practical guide for patients, families, and caregivers. Inside you'll learn about the leading edge of medical science and where the crucial research is being conducted: AI in cancer treatment - how it detects patterns no human eye could see.Precision oncology and liquid biopsies - tests that track cancer in real time.Emerging cures - immunotherapy, CAR-T, CAR-NK and targeted drugs with fewer side effects.Access strategies - how to find and participate in these new life-saving therapies.For anyone dealing with a life-threatening cancer, these advances can mean survival.
