Stem cell therapy for breast cancer

Stem cell therapy is an emerging treatment for breast cancer that provides patients with a possible treatment breakthrough by repairing tissues, improving the microenvironment, and targeting cancer cells. Compared with traditional treatments, stem cell therapy has shown potential in reducing side effects and improving efficacy, but it is still in the experimental research stage and has not yet been fully popularized.

Stem cell therapy for breast cancer mainly includes mesenchymal stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells and tumor stem cell related technologies. Mesenchymal stem cells have good tissue repair ability and can be injected into the tumor area to regulate the inflammatory response in the microenvironment, thereby controlling the growth of cancer cells; induced pluripotent stem cells provide a new idea for personalized treatment and can generate adaptive immune cells for anti-cancer immunotherapy; and treatment targeting tumor stem cells hopes to prevent recurrence and metastasis by eliminating the root cause of the tumor. However, these technologies are still facing problems such as insufficient stability, controversial safety and unclear treatment mechanisms, and need further verification and improvement.

When choosing stem cell therapy, it should be combined with the patient's own condition, disease progression and doctor's advice. Patients need to maintain a scientific and rational attitude and should not blindly believe in unverified promotions. For patients who are receiving other treatments, it is recommended to clarify the compatibility of treatment plans and pay attention to the latest research progress of authoritative medical institutions. At the same time, it is also necessary to cooperate with a healthy lifestyle, such as controlling weight, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol, and eating a balanced diet to improve the overall recovery effect and quality of life.
