Abstract:
Recent advancements in cancer therapy have led to the emergence of innovative approaches that offer new hope to patients. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the latest cutting-edge technologies and strategies in cancer treatment, including clinically approved therapies and experimental modalities in preclinical or early clinical development, with a focus on their potential to improve patient outcomes. We examined next-generation therapies, including personalized immunotherapies, targeted molecular treatments, gene editing approaches, and artificial intelligence-driven strategies. By evaluating the current landscape of these therapies, we highlighted their benefits, limitations, and future directions. The integration of these advanced modalities into clinical practice holds promise for enhancing their efficacy, reducing side effects, and ultimately transforming cancer care.

However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

01:31Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.
