Based in Valencia, Spain, she says that everything has changed since. \u201cFrom how I see myself as a person to the way I deal with things, nothing is the same as before,&#8221; she tells Euronews. &#8220;It\u2019s as if I am a completely different person. I\u2019m not me anymore, I am another version of myself&#8221;.After three operations, a chemo, and a radiotherapy, Laura \u2014 a doctor herself \u2014 is undergoing a hormone treatment.Pedro, meanwhile, has survived lung cancer. Yet, this 62-year-old Valencian, a former employee of a plastic recycling company, is still suffering from a wide range of after-effects. \u201cFollowing the radio- and the chemotherapy it\u2019s as if my nails have split. I can\u2019t open bags, or anything, I have lost my sense of touch,\u201d he says.Pedro and Laura are among the many cancer patients and survivors in Valencia who are supported by the local branch of the Asociaci\u00f3n Espa\u00f1ola contra el Cancer (AECC).  The organisation helps them find financial aid and borrow prosthetic material, while also receiving support by psycho-oncologists such as Cristina Flor. \u201cThe impact of oncologic diseases is so abrupt, fast and unforeseen, that patients struggle to cope with it,&#8221; she explains. &#8220;One\u2019s identity, the relationship we have with ourselves, how we feel in the world, and who we think we usually are, may not get properly destroyed, but at least deconstructed.\u201d Additionally, cancer patients and survivors have also to cope with the physical and psychological impact of the existing therapies. \u201cSuch physical consequences can lead to loss of functionality, difficulties in relationships and often cause isolation, sadness, anxiety, and lack of acceptance of one&#8217;s own body,\u201d Flor says.Reducing the side-effects of conventional treatments like chemo- and radiotherapy is among the promises of a new therapy being developed under the auspices of Project ULISES, part of the EU&#8217;s Horizon programme.Chasing a breakthroughThe treatement is based on the synthesis of nanoparticles, which scientists are using to deliver genetic material into cancer cells \u2014 thus making them \u201cvisible\u201d to the immune system. \u201cThe main focus of our project is to get the patient&#8217;s immune system to reject the tumour,\u201d explains Cristina Fillat, project coordinator and Group Leader at the Institut d&#8217;Investigacions Biom\u00e8diques August Pi i Sunyer in Barcelona.\u201cThe idea is to activate it by introducing specific molecules into the tumour, which can generate this immune response.\u201dThe nanoparticles developed for this new treatment are similar to those which have been used for the Covid vaccine, explains Vicente Candela Noguera, PhD Researcher at the Valencian Research Institute for Molecular Recognition and Technological Development. \u201cThey have proven to be safe for patients, and they are also very efficient when it comes to transporting genetic material,\u201d Noguera says.Their advantage is that they also specifically target the tumour cells, \u201cthus activating the response of the immune system only against them and reducing the side effects compared to other conventional therapies such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy,\u201d he points out.Jos\u00e9 Antonio L\u00f3pez Guerrero leads the Laboratory of Molecular Biology of the Oncology Institute in Valencia, which is testing the nanoparticles. \u201cIf the treatment works, it would be a success from the scientific and therapeutic point of view, because we could find a cure for one of the deadliest cancers in the world: pancreatic cancer,\u201d he says. ADVERTISEMENT\u201cThis alone would be an indisputable milestone in the scientific world, the academic world, and in the world of the pharmaceutical industry.\u201d But far beyond that, he adds, \u201cIf this treatment is effective for pancreatic cancer, it could open up a new therapeutic opportunity for other types of tumours that are also deadly and currently have no cure.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs in Arabic A new treatment aims to avoid the side-effects of conventional methods like chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
