The movie "Titanic," the plot is believed to be many people familiar with the story, which is largely a group of passengers,unparalleled luxury and solid wheel, is immersed in the beautiful scenery of the sea, the eyes suddenly showed tremendous the tip, making this group of people to panic. And our friends and family around them, if, unfortunately, has been suffering from cancer, and so is not like "Titanic" on the passengers, they may be trying to sprint a good time, or are in the SUPERFATE, swimming in the life of navigation when faced with a sudden thought Sedino great tip of the crisis - has been suffering from cancer; while many people as the story of the characters in general, chaos will result in confusion, I do not know how to face the fight against cancer.
The story takes place the assumption that the time is now, we are sailing at sea, once again encountered oncoming icebergs, how will we do? Needless to say, of course, be resolved before the tip. At present, the orthodox treatment of cancer treatments including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery and so on, these methods can be improved more or less the tip of the iceberg, and even have the opportunity to eradicate the entire surface of the tip, and that is our so-called "big tumor "; However, this which we often have to run by these orthodox treatment of stray bullets (that is, the side effects) are affected, for example, caused by chemotherapy, bone marrow suppression, reduced appetite, diarrhea, caused by radiation therapy, such as difficulty swallowing. All this allows us to subject to physical and mental impact, and even choose to give up the escape. Not only that, but apart from these orthodox treatments have side effects, there are some blind spots treatment, such as the emergence of drug-resistant and so on. In addition more deserving of our concern is that even if the tip of the surface of the water has been resolved, beyond the tip of the naked eye, that is, those microscopic tumor cells problems, still have some damage to the vessel, and finally into the tip of another, causing the outcome of the Titanic has repeatedly staged. Therefore, to be fair, the current effects of cancer treatment does not make the ideal.
So we have to how to be a complete solution to the water on the tip of the (macroscopic tumor), as well as by less than the tip of the naked eye (micro-tumor), and how to solve the orthodox treatment caused by stray bullets (orthodox treatment side effects) "mean?" all-round treatment of cancer "has become the direction we should ponder.
The so-called "all-round treatment of cancer", is neither orthodox treatment of neglected and at the same time the use of "adjuvant therapy" keep track of the treatment modalities. The emergence of cancer, nothing more than a congenital gene mutations, or the day after tomorrow caused by carcinogens. After many scientists study. Has now been found in normal cells into cancer cells the natural process of development, must undergo cancer, cancer promoter and the evolution of three different and consecutive phases; therefore the occurrence of tumor is a multi-factor, multi-step process of the complexity of biology. This rule has been for clinical observation and research animals confirmed. The formation of cancer cells without first obtaining the normal variation and abnormal proliferation, the tumor cell proliferation and metastasis of constant, the entire process of cancer, is divided into many stages, in different stages of tumor cells must also have certain conditions, these different phase of the essential conditions for the formation of tumor indispensable condition, of course, we also become a solution to the current plight of one of the methods of tumor, is also our goal to overcome cancer (We call this "molecular target").
While the war in Iraq news is that this time hot news topic, the missile I believe we will certainly not unfamiliar. The main conditions of the missile, in order to track the target's navigation system, can destroy a specific target. The battlefield with missiles, cancer treatment also with missiles. Preparation of the application of the principle of a molecular target can be tracked while in anti-tumor specificity of the "weapon", we have described as "target therapy (Target therapy)". The whole concept of cancer treatment, from the full destructive also translated into specific targets for therapy. Future anti-cancer drug will no longer be like a traditional chemical drugs to kill cells of ﹝ Cytotoxic ﹞ to curb cell gene on chromosome replication, resulting in normal tissue side effects; and replaced by molecular target for cancer treatment, it is non-cytotoxic Drug ﹝ Non-cytotoxic ﹞ to cancer, damage to normal cells is greatly reduced. Worship of modern molecular biology technology thanks to an increasing number of molecular targets for drugs have been developed, there was also a formal part of the current application in clinical treatment, such as breast cancer treatment Herceptin, non-small cell lung cancer Iressa, lymphoma Mabthera, as well as chronic myeloid leukemia, such as Gleevec. The birth of these new drugs, suddenly it seems so that we can beat all the competitors cancer. But this is not the case, many for the process of cancer molecular target drug of its effect is still less than ideal.
The so-called adjuvant therapy ﹝ Complementary and Alternative Medicine ﹞, also known as complementary and alternative treatment. Cancer treatment in the all-share role model, is with the orthodox treatment, in order to complement each other. Adjuvant therapy is necessary for evidence-based medicine (Evidence-based Medicine) evidence, and the tumor suppressor mechanisms of cancer through all stages of the process of molecular target for regulation and control, to achieve the growth inhibition of cancer cells. With orthodox treatment with the formation of multi-target missile system for cancer of all stages of the process of molecular target for the overall attack; its advantage is that not only can have the benefits of orthodox treatment, but also can make up for the orthodox treatment of the blind spot, and as a result of Most of the non-cytotoxic drugs, and will not increase the orthodox treatment caused side effects. In addition, as part of adjuvant therapy, can also increase the human immune system and accelerate the repair process of normal cells, reducing the orthodox treatment of normal cells the effects of poisoning, or by suppression of drug-resistant gene, anti-radiation therapy to increase the sensitivity to orthodox treatment to reduce the lead to side effects. According to the empirical research at home and abroad show that cancer patients through a full range of cancer treatment, cancer can be achieved to enhance the effectiveness, ease of chemotherapy, radiotherapy side effects, as well as to improve the quality of life, such as patients with remarkable results.
Cancer treatment should not only rely on treatment, the existing treatment of dead and blind spots, has been a cancer in Taiwan and the international medical experts and doctors to work together in the field. The concept of all-cancer treatment in Europe, the United States, Japan and other advanced countries in the medical profession, and has formed an important trend, and by the authority of medical institutions and the Government's attention was also seen as cancer patients new hope, but in Taiwan, but has yet to be taken seriously. In fact, the progress of medical research in cancer today, the concept of all-cancer treatment, except in molecular biology, gene therapy, molecular biological therapies target the new development, the Chinese traditional Chinese herbal medicine, and related therapy still There are extremely broad and badly in need of a breakthrough area of research, looking forward to Taiwan's medical profession, will be able after a rigorous, systematic research, the development of new anti-cancer therapy, cancer treatment for the people, bringing new hope for many, perhaps Taiwan version The "Titanic", the outcome could be ending.
