Abstract

If one looks at the statistics on cancer incidence worldwide and at the cure rates - at least over 5 years - you will see that we are further away than ever from beating cancer (as President Nixon announced at the time). There are cancers where cure rates are close to zero, and there are others whose incidence is exploding. The predominant therapy still consists of the old trias: scalpel, chemotherapy and radiation. In the field of chemotherapy, new ways and means are constantly being brought onto the market, such as immunotherapy. It is very expensive and has only slightly increased cure rates. One problem is regularly that the untargeted chemotherapy kills the sensitive cells but does not reach the resistant cells. These can then multiply at will.
