National Cancer Week: will we ever be able to beat this disease?. National Cancer Week started this Monday.
Over the last 20 years, there has been a lot of progress in treatments, yet this scourge still kills 160,000 people each year in France and 9.7 million in the world. Research is making great progress, particularly on immunotherapy which has saved thousands of patients who were thought to be doomed. Hope also rests on artificial intelligence. For example, biopsies are analyzed ten times faster than under a microscope thanks to AI.
