Cancer" is a serious disease that kills many patients each year. There is also a tendency to keep increasing. The World Health Organization (WHO) has designated February 4th of every year as "World Cancer Day" or "World Cancer Day" to make people around the world aware of the importance of cancer. From the latest survey of the Pediatric Cancer Club of Thailand Hematology Association of Thailand It was found that the incidence of cancer in children is approximately 100 people per 1,000,000 Thai children per year. Most of them are leukemia or leukemia, which is approximately 40 people per 1,000,000 Thai children per year. Associate Professor Dr. Usanarat Anuratphan, Department of Pediatrics Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital Mahidol University said that cancer in children is different from adults. This is because childhood cancer is caused by a genetic abnormality in the patient. Caused by abnormal division of patient cells It is not caused by a genetic abnormality of the parents. And not all cancers are genetically inherited. Currently, there is no method that can prevent cancer in children.
Only cancer in children can be diagnosed and treated correctly. Patients can be cured of cancer. In addition, patients must receive continuous treatment monitoring. and take care of yourself to be healthy Can reduce the chance of complications from chemotherapy. and can have a chance of being completely cured of the disease The chance of cure depends on the type of cancer. Some types of cancer have a high chance of being cured. In particular, acute leukemia type ALL or Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, which is commonly found in children, has a high chance of being cured. According to figures from WhatsApp Number List the Pediatric Cancer Club of Thailand, at present it is found that the chance of being cured is more than 60 percent, approximately 60 - 80 percent. Cell therapy treatment It increases the chance of treating acute leukemia type ALL. At present, several treatment studies at Ramathibodi Hospital have been successful. and is in the process of collecting data to study side effects before disseminating such treatment methods widely in the future "white blood cells that we take from patients or donor It's like a soldier who can't destroy cancer cells in his own body.
Because there is no gun The procedure we do in the lab is to equip soldiers with guns. In order to fight cancer cells The only limitation is that our gun can treat only this type of cancer. In addition, cell therapy is not a last resort for patients. In some cases, other treatments may need to be continued.” Assoc. Prof. Dr. Usanarasmi explains. In addition, the Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital also collaborated with Center of Excellence for Drug Discovery or ECDD (Excellent Center for Drug Discovery), Mahidol University Research new methods In cancer treatment, Dr. Suparerk Bowonphinyo, Director of ECDD, revealed that “We now have the technology together to change T-Cells or T-cell white blood cells. Cells in the immune system can eliminate ALL leukemia cells by using technology to create a treatment tool called CAR T-Cell. CAR T-Cell refers to the body's immune T-cell white blood cells that have been modified in the lab before being injected back into the patient's body. CAR stands for Chimeric Antigen Receptor, which means Genetically modified antigen receptors That is, T-cells have been modified to contain a protein that allows the T-cell to detect a particular type of cancer cell. When CAR T-Cell is injected back into the body, it can destroy that type of cancer cell, and CAR T-Cell will grow, divide, multiply Can stay in the body, allowing it to control cancer cells. and prevent recurrence as well. “What we are preparing for next is creating an acceptable process. It is under control according to the standards of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It has appropriate factories and processes.
