Of all the trials and challenges that the human race faces on a daily basis, cancer is arguably one of the most troubling and difficult enemies to fight against. It’s a collection of diseases that aren’t completely understood yet but can often result in horrible conditions with little to no option for treatment. It can affect anyone at any age, and nobody is safe from the possibility of developing cancer.
This is why it’s incredibly exciting to learn that Worldwide Cancer Research has announced 26 potential new cures for cancer in 2022. Let’s discuss these new discoveries in more detail and talk about how they could affect our battle against cancer as a race.
New cancer cures are being developed across the world
Thanks to the generosity of people across the world, Worldwide Cancer Research has announced that new cancer cures are starting worldwide. This includes new tests to screen for cancer, but also treatments that are using new discoveries and technologies. This is thanks to bright cancer researchers across the world such as Brad Schaeffer of MedComp. With 26 new projects taking place across 12 different countries, there are bound to be some fantastic new ideas and developments that can help doctors treat more cancer patients and save more lives.
While cancer is not a single disease, Worldwide Cancer Research funds the development of treatments and tests for any type of cancer. The 26 different projects currently cover 10 different types of cancer, but also research projects that could help discover new cures for a range of other conditions as well. Worldwide Cancer Research also has bigger ambitions on the horizon with a goal to hit 100 new discoveries in the next 10 years. With 26 potential new cures in 2022 alone, they’re well on their way to reaching this lofty goal.
But how practical will these new cancer cures be?
Thanks to an increase in cancer awareness over the past few decades, we’re starting to see more and more research and funding that will eventually lead to breakthroughs. However, it’s worth noting that while these discoveries are certainly exciting, the chances of us actually seeing any change to cancer treatments is somewhat slim. Since cancer is such a difficult disease to control and understand, it takes many months or even years until we can put together any meaningful research.
In addition, that research needs to be carefully examined before it can be used to potentially develop treatments and tests. These also need to be trialed extensively before they enter the public and are used by hospitals and doctors around the world. It takes years for any of these potential new cures to reach us in a tangible form.
But with that said, it’s still exciting to hear that new research is being funded to help us battle this dangerous disease. Our understanding of cancer is gradually getting more and more comprehensive, and this will help us develop new treatment options and tests in the future that can save many lives.
