Bengaluru: Manipal Hospitals Old Airport Road (OAR) commemorates World Cancer Day by honouring cancer survivors and highlighting their triumphs. The event titled ‘Voices of Victory: Celebrating the Journeys of Cancer Warriors’ aimed to boost hope for those battling cancer by showcasing survivors and providing a platform to share their stories of overcoming the deadly disease.
Technology plays a crucial role in cancer management. Doctors and researchers leverage the power of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and among others. Technology innovation has helped the healthcare field in early-stage disease detection, developed advanced treatments tailored to patients’ diagnoses, and minimised the need for surgical interventions. One such innovation that is making waves is Immunotherapy.
Dr. Poonam Patil, Consultant-Medical Oncology Manipal Hospitals (OAR), emphasized the transformative impact of immunotherapy on cancer treatment during a panel discussion on targeted therapy and immunotherapy. She says, “In the last six to seven years, the healthcare industry has witnessed a shift in cancer care with the rise of immunotherapy. This cutting-edge treatment harnesses the power of our immune system to combat cancer cells, offering an alternative to traditional approaches. The transformative impact of immunotherapy on patient outcomes and the broader field of oncology received the Nobel Prize in 2018.”
Manipal Hospitals have pioneered and refined the use of immunotherapy for comprehensive cancer treatment. “With over 350 to 400 patients benefiting from this groundbreaking treatment, we have observed that it is characterized by minimal side effects and taps into our body’s natural immunity. Immunotherapy holds the potential for long-lasting results”, adds Dr. Poonam.
In the fight against cancer, cutting-edge cancer treatments—targeted therapies, immunotherapies, precision medicine, and personalized plans—yield impressive efficacy, fostering long-term survival and enhanced quality of life. By disrupting cancer pathways and leveraging the immune system, these approaches showcase significant progress in the fight against cancer. Ongoing research reveals new targets and combinations, offering hope for improved outcomes and marking a substantial stride in battling this formidable disease.
