This is the latest and most promising "strategy" for fighting cancer, namely to identify specific targets in the biochemistry of cancer cells and to design chemical monkey wrenches to throw at those targets. In the medical literature I'm reading concerning my own rare cancer, these new drugs are usually called "targeted therapies" or "target drugs" to distinguish them from the much older "chemotherapies" which have a much broader range of cells which they attack - not just rapidly dividing cancer cells, but other rapidly dividing cells, such as blood components, hair, some gastrointestinal linings, mucous membranes, etc.
If you want to learn about another kind of spookey, science-fictiony sort of strategy for fighting cancer, look up the videos on You tube which explain CAR-T cell therapy. This is likely what I will use to fight a very rare cancer with lousy prognosis (overall survival is 10 months, max; half die by five months).
Good luck with your treatment, Brandybux. Keep us posted.
Best of luck to you!
wow- sorry to hear that- May God help you endure it- and if it be His will to cure you of it using the more targeted treatment- -
Prayers up for you - my older Brother had this sort of therapy to treat inoperable esophageal cancer.
The Cancer Treatment Center of America told him there was nothing that could be done and he had a year at most to live.
He’s currently in remission - last PET scan found no tumor.
