cancer treatment

Today, oncological diseases are a leading cause of death. Experts in medicine, chemistry and biology are hard at work developing medications and treatment methods. The fight against cancer is made difficult by the fact that it’s not just an illness with specific symptoms and causes. Oncological diseases are caused by DNA mutations that lead to malfunctions of various systems inside people’s bodies. Essentially, a specific set of mutations represents a separate disease that needs to be tackled. Personalized treatment is considered the most promising approach: a specific set of medications aimed at preventing tumor growth is developed for each patient.

Genetics, Neural Networks, and the Medicine of the Future: Human 2.0

In the 21st century, medicine is undergoing a true revolution — algorithms are replacing doctors, 3D printers are printing human organs, artificial intelligence is designing drugs, and for the first time, humans can control their own biology and literally hack their bodies. Our very attitude toward health, aging, and the process of life itself has changed. But what will be the result of this revolution? Is it the key to immortality, or just another form of dependence on technology?
