President Putin announces Russia is close to producing a cancer vaccine
(Baonghean.vn) - Russia has come close to creating a cancer vaccine and can expect to soon use this preparation as an individual treatment method, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced.
"We are close to creating a so-called anti-cancer vaccine and a new generation of immunomodulatory drugs. And I hope that this preparation will soon be used effectively as an individual therapy," Mr. Putin said.
Speaking at the plenary session of the Future Technologies Forum, President Putin remarked that artificial intelligence will never replace the delicate sensitivity and involvement of medical staff in the fate of a person.
"I want to thank the medical staff for their dedicated work... The entire health care of our population is carried out by you. Whatever we say about artificial intelligence, about robots, it is all very interesting, promising and very necessary. Of course, these are faithful, reliable assistants of humans. We will also talk about the implementation of these advanced technologies. But artificial intelligence technologies will never replace the delicate sensitivity and participation of medical staff in the fate of a person," the Russian President said.
In modern conditions, the health care system of humanity as a whole is struggling, but the Russian Federation is always ready to cooperate, President Putin pledged. "As a result, more than half of all cancers are now detected at an early stage, when the prognosis for treatment is most favorable. The volume of chemotherapy has increased by 60%, radiotherapy by more than 25%, and since 2020, proton therapy has been implemented," Putin announced.
"Russia has achieved significant results, but we need to continue this work at a qualitatively new level and prepare to effectively deal with any challenges, including the threat of new global outbreaks of epidemics," President Putin concluded./.
