Conventional therapies for cancer such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy remain a
mainstay in treatment, but in many cases a targeted approach is lacking, and
patients can be vulnerable to drug resistance. In recent years, novel concepts
have been emerging to improve the traditional therapeutic options in cancers with
poor survival outcomes. New therapeutic strategies involving areas like energy
metabolism and extracellular vesicles along with advances in immunotherapy and
nanotechnology are driving the next generation of cancer treatments. The
development of fields such as theranostics in nanomedicine is also opening new
doors for targeted drug delivery and nano-imaging. Here we discuss the use of
innovative technologies presented at the Irish Association for Cancer Research
(IACR) Annual Meeting, highlighting examples of where new approaches may lead to
promising new treatment options for a range of cancer types.
