A new treatment for cancer
The fight against the cancer progresses day by day. A Cancer arises when cells breed in a disorderly way. A program named AcSé ( Accès sécurisé à des thérapies ciblées innovantes) was created by Inca (Institute of Cancer) and Agency of Medicines (ANSM), in France.
A few days ago, a new type of cancer treatment sees saw the light of the day, as a major progress in fighting the deadly disease. This treatment is called Immunotherapy. It consists in of targetting and rehabilitating the cells of the immune system or helping the body to produce more boost its immune defense system, thanks to the crizotinib, an anti-cancer drug reserved for adults, that which also can can also be used for genetic diseases. Contrary to the chemotherapy and radiotherapy that attack healthy and ill cells, weakening and tiring patients body's patients' bodies, with this medicine, there is are no side effects, like vomiting or hair loss, nor hospitalization. We just have to swallow a pill. And results come in 2 days.
Yet, this treatment is still a prototype; it is a new discovery and only a few people test have tested this kind of treatment. Moreover, these people were in hopeless cases, and researchers need for 15 more (?) years to know more informations about the medicine to commercialize it.
To my mind, this subject is an idea of progress because this new treatment can be a rise step towards developments of medicines against things like HIV. And especially, it could save many lifes lives from now on. It is a big innovation. In the future, this kind of disease might be like the influenza flu. ("Influenza" is the medical term, we usually just call it "the flu".)
