New concepts in understanding and treating cancer have begun to focus on “Mitochondria” (Mitochondria), which is an organelle in the cell that plays an important role in generating energy. and control cell death in an orderly manner (apoptosis). Recent research has found that:
Cause of cancer: Mitochondrial dysfunction
Cancer is not primarily caused by genetic mutations. But "impaired functioning of the mitochondria" is the main cause. When the mitochondria do not work properly Incomplete energy production occurs (aerobic glycolysis or Warburg effect), which causes cells to become cancer cells that can grow and divide quickly.
Current treatment: focuses on eliminating cancer cells. Didn't fix the root cause
Traditional cancer treatment methods include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, targeted therapy or immunotherapy. (Immunotherapy) even though it can help reduce the size of cancer tumors or destroy cancer cells. But it doesn't solve the problem at the root cause, which is "abnormal mitochondria," causing cancer to come back again. or resistant to treatment
New Approach: Strengthen Mitochondria (Mitochondrial Biogenesis)
Restoring and increasing the number of mitochondria in healthy cells. It will allow cells to return to normal function. and better control of abnormal cell growth
Strengthening the Mitochondria (mitochondrial biogenesis) helps:
Increase the efficiency of energy production for cells
Reduce chronic inflammation (which is the underlying condition of many diseases, including cancer)
Promote abnormal cell death
Prevent the new growth of cancer cells
Tools for restoring mitochondria
Research indicates that Mitochondria maintenance can be done in a number of ways, including:
IF (Intermittent Fasting) fasting
Nutrients that stimulate the production of mitochondria, such as resveratrol extracted from mulberry.
Conclusion: Future directions for cancer treatment
Changing the concept from From “getting rid of cancer cells” to “restoring the energy system of the cell”, we aim to strengthen the mitochondria so they can function perfectly. It is a new step in holistic treatment. and will be the standard approach for cancer care in the future.
