Paradigm shift with personalized treatment in hematology

SAPO Notícias4 September 2026 at 12:49

Over the last two decades, there has been a significant change in oncological treatment. The paradigm that dominated the medical approach for years has been replaced by a new perspective that places the patient at the center of therapeutic decisions.

Previously, the central question was to determine which treatment was most appropriate for a given disease. This standardized approach treated all patients with the same pathology similarly, following defined protocols for each type of cancer.

Currently, the focus has shifted to the individual patient. The fundamental question is now which treatment is most appropriate for each person, considering their specific characteristics, such as genetics, medical history, and other personal factors.

This transformation represents a significant paradigm shift in hematology and oncology in general, allowing for more effective treatments tailored to each patient.

Einstein's "happiest thought" passed the first test in the quantum world

An international team of researchers announced the first successful observation of the effect of gravity on a quantum object in free fall, in a study published in Science Advances. This experimental result demonstrates for the first time, more than a century after Einstein's prediction in 1907, the link between gravity and the quantum world — the physicist's so-called "happiest thought." However, the researchers emphasize that this experiment does not unify quantum mechanics with gravity, nor does it prove that gravity is a quantum phenomenon, but it provides experimental support for the idea that both domains are connected.

How technology is helping archaeology reveal larger and more sophisticated peoples in the Amazon

Recent studies using LiDAR technology have revealed that pre-Columbian civilizations in the Amazon were much more populous and sophisticated than previously thought. A research published in the journal Nature showed that the Aquiry, an ancient civilization in the current state of Acre, may have reached three million inhabitants and built 30 thousand geoglyphs about 2 thousand years ago. Over the past two decades, different studies have revolutionized population estimates for the Amazon, demonstrating that these peoples possessed advanced levels of agriculture and architecture that challenge previous conceptions about the region.
