Eva Vertes olha para o futuro da medicina

Cancer may be more than a disease; it might be the body's own attempt at repairing damaged tissue gone awry. A striking fact: skeletal muscle, making up over half the body, almost never gets cancer, hinting at untapped biological defenses. By exploring how cancer forms and why it avoids certain tissues, new avenues for harnessing or redirecting its power could emerge. This approach challenges the idea of simply killing cancer, suggesting a future where therapy means guiding cells to heal.
