Nam Rak Hospital would like to invite everyone to understand the facts about "Using immunotherapy with mRNA", a new technology that is gaining interest for treating early stage DCIS (Ductal Carcinoma in Situ) breast cancer. Although it has potential for treatment , at present it is still too early to be used in practice.
Why shouldn't you use it yet? 🤔
In Investigation : Immunotherapy combined with mRNA for DCIS breast cancer is still in Phase 1 clinical trials to evaluate safety and efficacy.
Study results are unclear : Although some studies have shown positive results, there is not enough data to confirm long-term efficacy and safety.
Risks : Like other cancer treatments, mRNA immunotherapy can have side effects and may not be suitable for all patients.
Case study example 📑
DCIS patients receiving mRNA vaccines : There are case reports of DCIS patients enrolled in an mRNA vaccine study. During the first 2 years, the patients responded well to treatment, but later the cancer recurred and developed into metastatic cancer. This case demonstrates that while mRNA immunotherapy is promising, long-term outcomes are not guaranteed.
DCIS patients with mutations : In some cases, DCIS patients may have cancer cell mutations that make mRNA immunotherapy less effective.
Things to consider ⚠️
Consult a doctor : Before deciding to undergo any treatment, you should consult a specialist to assess the risks and benefits.
Stay informed : Medical technology is constantly evolving, so stay informed about the latest news and advances in breast cancer treatment.
Conclusion
Immunotherapy combined with mRNA is a promising technology and may be a new hope in treating DCIS breast cancer , but at this time it is too early to be practically applied. Namarak Hospital is committed to providing accurate and unbiased information to enable patients to make appropriate treatment decisions.
