Speaker 4:Welcome back. This is DJ Tyler and we are going to discuss cancer and its impact on our lives. Cancer is a complex disease characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. It can develop in almost any part of the body and affects individuals differently depending on the type, stage and location. Despite advancements in medical science, cancer remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Treatment decisions are often critical and can significantly impact patients' quality of life and survival prospects.
Speaker 5:Cancer touches lives in ways few other diseases do, prompting a rigorous pursuit of better treatments and eventual cures. Lately, the focus has been shifting towards more targeted and less invasive treatment options. Let's begin with a discussion on targeted therapy. Unlike traditional chemotherapy, which attacks all rapidly dividing cells, targeted therapy zeroes in on cancer-specific molecules and pathways critical for tumor growth and survival. Let's hear from Dr Mary Gupta, a researcher in general health and molecular oncology.
Speaker 6:Thank you for inviting to your podcast again. It's always a pleasure. Thank you for inviting to your podcast again. It's always a pleasure. Targeted therapies are designed to interfere with specific molecules necessary for tumor growth. These drugs often result in fewer side effects compared to traditional chemotherapy because they aim directly at cancer cells, leaving healthy cells relatively unharmed.
Speaker 5:Thank you, Dr Gupta. Another revolutionary approach is cancer vaccines, which are designed to either prevent cancer or treat it by stimulating the immune system to attack cancer cells. Next up, we have immunologist Dr Richard.
Speaker 7:Lee, to train the immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells, though still largely in the experimental phase, some therapeutic cancer vaccines have shown promising results in clinical settings.
Speaker 2:This brings us to the role of genetics in cancer treatment, specifically in the promising field of clustered, regularly interspaced, short palindromic repeats and gene editing technologies, which allow for precise modifications to cancer cells. For an insight into these technologies, we reached out to Dr Emily Tran, who is actively involved in gene editing research.
Speaker 1:Thank you, dj Mikey D, for the invite. I love your show and listen to your daily motivation podcast all of the time. Show and listen to your daily motivation podcast all of the time. Okay, clustered, regularly Interspaced, short Palindromic Repeats. Technology has the potential to correct genetic mutations associated with cancer. This form of treatment could drastically improve outcomes and may even provide solutions for otherwise untreatable forms of cancer.
Speaker 4:The role of genetic information doesn't stop there. The advent of whole genome sequencing offers incredible opportunities for personalizing treatment plans. By identifying genetic mutations, researchers can develop drugs that specifically target those forms of cancer cells. As we look ahead, collaboration among scientists and institutions remains crucial. Look ahead collaboration among scientists and institutions remains crucial. Global networks share vital data that accelerates the pace of discovery, ensuring that breakthroughs become therapies as soon as possible.
Speaker 2:As I mentioned previously, cancer treatments generally aim to remove or destroy cancer cells, control the disease or alleviate symptoms. The most common treatment modalities include the following One Surgery Involves removing the tumor and surrounding tissue to eliminate cancer from the body. 2. Radiation therapy Uses high-energy rays to target and kill cancer cells or shrink tumors. 3. Chemotherapy Utilizes drugs to kill or slow the growth of rapidly dividing cancer cells. 4. Immunotherapy it enhances the body's immune system to of rapidly dividing cancer cells. Four immunotherapy it enhances the body's immune system to recognize and fight cancer cells. Five targeted therapy Focuses on specific proteins or genetic changes in cancer cells to block their growth and spread. Six hormone therapy Inhibits hormones that fuel certain cancers, such as breast and prostate cancer. Seven stem cell transplant it replaces diseased bone marrow with healthy cells, allowing for high-dose chemotherapy.
Speaker 2:Opting for cancer treatment or foregoing it entirely involves several emotional, physical and practical implications. This is even true in my case, as I too am considering the options. With treatment, it can extend life expectancy and improve survival rates, especially for early stage cancers, where intervention can result in remission or cure. While treatment can lead to side effects like fatigue, nausea and hair loss, managing these effects can ultimately lead to better long-term life quality as the disease is controlled or eradicated. Engaging in treatment provides many patients and families with a proactive approach to fighting the illness, often offering hope and a sense of control. Here is what I researched going through cancer without treatment.
Speaker 2:For advanced stage cancers or when guidelines suggest limited benefit, some individuals may opt for palliative care focused on symptom management and maintaining comfort. Avoiding aggressive treatments can circumvent the adverse side effects, preserving a more normal lifestyle in the short term. The decision not to pursue treatment can stem from personal, ethical or quality of life considerations, focusing instead on family time or personal projects. In my case, I had gone through this two decades ago and had a bad experience. The decision to undergo cancer treatment or not is profoundly personal and should be guided by medical advice alongside an individual's values and preferences. Be mindful that some cancers are treatable. Ultimately, a thorough discussion with oncologists, family and possibly mental health professionals can provide clarity and confidence in the decision-making process.
Speaker 5:It's a very exciting time in cancer research, with optimism growing that the next major breakthroughs are just around the corner. Thank you for joining us as we discuss.
