For many of years, there has been a very deadly disease that has been killing humankind; cancer. There have been many treatments used to help cure cancer, but these treatments only cure some types. Many people around the world are coming together, in order to make a difference in cancer treatment. Many doctors made new discoveries that can help treat cancer patients. This deadly disease took the lives of many innocent and loving people, who do not deserve this pain.
Statistics of Cancer
The number of people that died from cancer is 171.2 per 100,000 men and women per year, based on the 2008-2012 deaths. Cancer deaths is defined as cancer mortality and according to the National Cancer Institute, “Cancer mortality is higher among men than women (207.9 per 100,000 men and 145.4 per 100,000 women). It is highest in African American men (261.5 per 100,000) and lowest in Asian/Pacific Islander women (91.2 per 100,000). (Based on 2008-2012 deaths).” Innocent children, who are just starting their lives, are dying from his disease as well. In 2014, 15,780 children ages 0 to 19, were diagnosed with cancer and 1,960 died because of this terrible disease. This is not fair to these children because some did not even get an education, did not get to know their family well enough, or work towards their dream. This is also unfair to the families, who are in so much pain because they did not get to see their children get married, get awards, go to college, or even have children of their own.
Doctors and Their Amazing Discoveries
A professor, named Professor Swanton, has published many papers about cancer evolution and genetics. Swanton made a remarkable discovery that is one of the biggest breakthroughs in cancer research. Swanton discovered the ‘Achilles’ heel’ of cancer that could harness the patient’s immune system to create new treatments for advanced or even returning cancers. This amazing discovery gives new ways for treatment by using the patient’s own immune cells grown in the labs, to use for their treatment. There were also some more exciting discoveries by scientists. In separate research on 257 women, “…scientists showed that two drugs, lapatinib and trastuzumab, when used together could shrink or even eliminate breast cancer tumors in less than two weeks.”, according to The Telegraph. This remarkable discovery for breast cancer tumors is very exciting. However, pancreas and lung cancer still remain incurable.
The Help for Curing Cancer
Cancer is among the leading causes of deaths worldwide. Some types of cancers have decreased in death, but others are either stabilized or increasing. The overall deaths caused by cancer have declined, meaning that the number of cancer survivors has increased. Many people are coming together, to help others around them who are in need for a cure.
