With the rise of personalized medicine, cancer cures - including preventative vaccines - are closer to being realized than ever. Medical and scientific writer Jacqueline Bersano assesses the current outlook for treating cancer and other seemingly incurable diseases.

FREIBURG IM BREISGAU, GERMANY - In 2022, the cancer agency of the World Health Organization (WHO) reported 20 million new cancer cases and 9.7 million deaths. The worldwide burden of cancer is expected to increase by approximately 50 percent in the next two decades, highlighting the urgent need to develop more targeted treatments.1

Traditional cancer treatments - including surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy - often have limited effectiveness because of their toxicity and restricted applicability. This has led to more research into personalized medicine, which aims to tailor treatments for every individual patient’s unique situation and therefore revolutionize cancer treatment in the coming years and decades.2

 

Cancer vaccines are a promising approach for personalized medicine
