Research hotspot and frontier progress of cancer under the background of precision medicine
Journal Title: Traditional Medicine Research - Year 2020, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
The timely introduction and rapid development of precision medicine have provided strong theoretical support and technical support for tumor research. The treatment methods have been developed from single to multiple; the research technology has been transformed from macro to micro; the treatment drugs have been updated from systemic chemotherapy to targeted therapy and immunotherapy, and cancer has changed from a highly lethal disease to a "chronic disease". Based on the current international cancer research hotspots and treatment frontiers, this paper takes stock from five aspects, namely, treatment methods, detection technology, new drug research and development, information data and traditional Chinese medicine, with a view to "from the point to the surface", "from the outside to the inside", and "the combination of Chinese and western", so as to explore the overall picture of cancer treatment and research.
