Imagine that within our bodies, a silent war is raging—an intricate battle between our immune system and a relentless foe known as cancer. As we step into the world of cancer therapeutics, let’s take a moment to ponder: What if we could harness the technology of the future to help our immune system win this war?
To ignite our curiosity and set the stage for today’s discussion, let’s engage in a brief visualisation exercise:
Close your eyes for a moment and take a deep breath. Imagine a vast battlefield, teeming with cells, each with its own purpose. Your body is the arena, and on one side, you have the brave soldiers of your immune system, ready to fend off intruders.
Now, picture the enemy. Cancer cells are not just random invaders; they are deceptive, often masquerading as normal cells, slowly multiplying and evading your immune system's defences.
What strategies could we employ to outsmart these cunning foes? This is the essence of cancer therapeutics—the innovative approaches we can use to aid our body's natural defences or even attack cancer cells directly.
As you open your eyes, let’s reflect on that imagery. To kick off our lesson, I’d like everyone to pair up and discuss the following questions:
Feel free to use your phones to look up any quick facts or breakthroughs in cancer therapeutics that come to mind!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! As we delve deeper into cancer therapeutics today, we will explore the latest research advancements, innovative technologies like immunotherapy, and the ethical considerations surrounding these treatments. Let’s embark on this enlightening journey together, exploring new horizons in cancer care.
