Many people are dying from cancer. Biotechnology may be the key to finally beating the unbeatable illness. Biotechnology has facilitated the development of individualized drugs that can tailor treatment to an individual’s specific genetic make-up or cancer type. This entails analyzing a case’s inheritable profile or excrescence characteristics and deciding on the most effective treatment based on the findings. Immunotherapies that use the body’s own vulnerable system to fight cancer have been developed as a result of biotechnology. This entails attaching specific labels to cancer cells that can activate vulnerable cells, as well as developing medicines or cures that can stimulate the vulnerable system to fete and attack cancer cells. Biotechnology has allowed for the development of targeted therapies that can specifically target cancer cells while leaving normal cells alone. This method entails identifying specific molecular targets that are overexpressed or shifted in cancer cells and developing medicines or cures that can target them broadly.

Although there is still much research to be done before these medicines become publicly available, nanotechnology provides various potential strategies to cure cancer. Nanotechnology has the potential to improve cancer treatment by enhancing the accuracy and efficacy of current treatments while also providing new avenues for treatment. Much more study, however, is required to completely understand and develop these technologies. This type of treatment will probably become widely used in the 2040s. Curing cancer is just one of the many ways biotechnology can be used to help people.
