Carta Albă a Terapiilor Genice în România - actualizare 2022

Terapia genică implică modificarea genetică directă a celulelor unei persoane pentru a atinge un scop terapeutic. Conform FDA (Food and Drug Administration), terapia genică are ca scop modificarea expresiei unei gene sau influențarea proprietăților biologice ale celulelor cu scopul de a trata sau a vindeca o boală. Modificarea genetică implică transferul de material genetic (de obicei ADN), dar într-un sens mai larg, în categoria terapiilor genice pot intra și oligonucleotidele sau terapiile bazate pe ARN. Tehnicile de editare genomică de tipul CRISPR-Cas permit modificări moleculare directe de mare precizie care pot corecta genele, însă cercetările sunt abia la început.

Medicina de precizie în cancerul de sân

Medicina de precizie în cancerul de sân

Datorită progreselor științifice, înțelegerea cancerului a trecut de la o afecțiune incurabilă la un spectru de boli caracterizate prin modificări moleculare specifice, comportamente clinice diferite și răspunsuri diferite la tratamentele sistemice. Cancerul de sân reprezintă una dintre poveștile de succes - în ultimii 20 de ani, mortalitatea determinată de acest tip de cancer este în scădere ca rezultat al programelor de screening, diagnosticului de precizie și noilor opțiuni terapeutice, atât în stadiul localizat, cât și în cancerul de sân metastatic.
