Remission and cure have always been desired and inspiring words for patients, family members, doctors, scientists, researchers and the entire health chain. In cases of cancer, even more so. If 100 years ago innovation came from the discovery of X-rays for diagnosis and radiotherapy as the sole treatment, today there aren’t enough fingers on both hands to count the innovative therapies developed and improved over the last few decades.

All research is done so that patients have treatments that are shorter, less painful, less harmful to healthy cells, more humanized and bring more relief. And more worthy.
This notebook talks about science, technology, innovation and many hopes, such as, for example, the accurate diagnosis of any type of cancer at any stage, made from a blood sample, the liquid biopsy, a revolution.
Gene therapy is also groundbreaking, using CAR-T cells, which are wiping out cancer cells in patients with blood cancers that are unresponsive to other treatments. The results of other immunotherapies, viral therapies and vaccines are also surprising. Today we have oral chemotherapy, targeted therapy, radiosurgery and robotic surgery.
It’s already a lot, but it’s not alone. Advances have also come to make patient travel easier. Most current approaches to palliative care and oncopsychology focus on well-being and a better life.
