World Cancer Day 2025
๐ Cancer affects us all. Most of us know someone who is fighting this battle. With around 20 million new cancer cases diagnosed each year, itโs something that touches almost every family, every group of friends, every workplace.
Thereโs a lot of incredible work happening in research and medicine to better understand cancer and find safer, more effective treatments. Some of the most promising approaches right now include:
โถ๏ธ ๐๐บ๐บ๐๐ป๐ผ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐: checkpoint inhibitors, CAR T-cell therapies, Cancer vaccines.
โถ๏ธ ๐ง๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ด๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ฒ๐: next-generation KRAS inhibitors, Antibody-drug conjugates.
โถ๏ธ ๐ฃ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ: genetic profiling of tumors, consideration of the patient’s lifestyle and health conditions in treatment planning, optimization of treatment efficacy.
But thereโs another promising avenue in cancer research that doesnโt get talked about as much โ
ionchannels and transporters. More and more research is showing that they play a big role in cancer. Ion channels and transporters can regulate tumor growth, drug resistance, and metastasis, offering a new frontier for innovative treatments.At ๐ก๐ฎ๐ป๐ถ๐ผ๐ป, weโre proud to support researchers exploring this important area. With our technologies, they can study ion channels and transporters as possible new targets for cancer treatment as well as find ways to make treatments more effective and safer for patients.
We know weโre just one piece of the puzzle, but every piece counts. And if our tools can help scientists get even one step closer to better treatments, then thatโs something truly worth working for.
Today, on World Cancer Day, we stand with everyone affected by cancer โ the patients, the families, the researchers, the doctors, and all those who keep hoping for better days ahead.
