health nerds – Der Podcast über artgerechtes Leben
Cancer diagnosis: Forty years ago it was a death sentence for two thirds of all those affected, but now there is a good chance of a cure
Therapy options are becoming better and more precise, and prevention also helps to detect cancer cells in good time: “Each of us carries degenerated, potential cancer cells all the time – as a rule, however, our immune system successfully fights them”, says Matthias Baum from the HEALTH NERDS science team.
But what exactly happens in our body when cancer cells and tumors develop? Is there an evolutionary advantage to the degeneration of cells? We also take a look at the modern toolbox of oncology: what revolutionary ideas is science working on? What are companies like BioNTech researching? How do mRNA immunotherapies work? What are nano-encapsulated active ingredients all about? Will we soon be able to burst cancer cells with ultrasound waves? And: Will cancer be completely defeated one day?
“The groundbreaking innovation in medicine is the change of perspective”, explains the health scientist here in the podcast: “Previously, the focus was on fighting the tumor, destroying the degenerated cells. Now the focus is increasingly on the mechanisms in the body: which genes are degenerated, which immune cells are not working properly and why?” HEALTH NERDS. Human, simply explained.
