Can advanced cancer be transformed into a chronic condition through the use of small molecules and biologics?

Advanced cancer can potentially be managed as a chronic disease, allowing patients to live longer with a better quality of life.

Survival rates for advanced cancer are improving with new treatments.
Small molecules and biologics can be used long-term, even after disease progression.
Chronic management of advanced cancer can enhance quality of life.

This study suggests that with new treatments, people with advanced cancer might live longer and feel better, similar to how diabetes is managed.

The study discusses the challenges in managing advanced cancer and the need for new healthcare systems to support chronic disease management.
