Viral cancer therapy

Viral reactivation is a form of immunotherapy that uses viruses to infect and destroy cancer cells. This therapy is receiving attention from oncology experts in Vietnam.

New techniques for diagnosing and treating cancer.

The latest updates on advances in cancer diagnosis and treatment were the focus of in-depth workshops at the international scientific conference organized by Bach Mai Hospital in Nghe An on May 16-17, with the participation of leading experts in oncology, cardiology, emergency medicine, toxicology, endocrinology, and other specialties.

Da Vinci robotic surgery for cancer treatment offers many significant advantages, including reduced hospital stay and guaranteed cancer treatment outcomes.

Regarding advances in cancer treatment, experts say that approximately 80% of cancers require surgical intervention; and about 60% of cancers can be cured through surgery.

These include surgical techniques through natural orifices, organ transplantation for cancer patients (liver and pancreatic cancer), thermal surgery, etc. Currently, Da Vinci robotic surgery has many outstanding advantages, as it reduces hospital stay while ensuring cancer treatment outcomes.

The application of robotic surgery instead of conventional laparoscopic surgery will bring many benefits to patients, such as controlling blood loss, minimizing the rate of complications, shortening hospital stays, and allowing for faster patient recovery.

The Da Vinci robot generation is a cutting-edge generation of robots currently used to perform surgeries for gastrointestinal cancers, head and neck cancers, gynecological cancers, urological cancers, and more.

Notably, the experts also shared information about viral reductase therapy, a revolutionary new cancer treatment. This therapy utilizes existing biological agents to treat cancer.

For example, the first oncolysis virus, T-VEC, was approved by the FDA in 2015 for the treatment of metastatic melanoma. T-VEC is a type of herpes simplex virus 1. Oncolysis virus is a form of immunotherapy that uses viruses to infect and destroy cancer cells.

Furthermore, treating malignancies with vaccines is a method that can induce systemic tumor regression, long-term remission, and improved survival rates.

Or hyperthermia therapy, which involves heating the tumor to inhibit the growth of cancer cells with the goal of destroying them or making them more sensitive to the effects of conventional radiation and chemotherapy regimens.
