Cancer is a disaster that is going to happen, by 2030, this disease will have many more deaths in comparison to heart diseases which is a number one killer today, but we are not far from finding the cure for cancer, said dr Anabeli Estevez Garcia in the interview for Telegraf.rs. a recognized oncologist from Havana, a professor at the Faculty of Medicine, who also works at the La Pradera International Center and the Vaccine Research Center.

Dr. Estevez Garcia arrived in Serbia in late October, and after only two days of staying in our country, she says she is very happy here.

I don't miss my country. People are warm here as if I am in Cubashe said at the start of the lecture she held yesterday in the traditional Cuban guayabera shirt.

We had the conversation with her right after the lecture where she said that cancer is a great threat and that the countries that are not developed are in greatest danger. Our guest, who will spend a month in Serbia and who will use the time to see the patients here, emphasizes that cancer is curable in first stages of the disease.

  • Why do you say that cancer is a disaster that is going to happen to us?
  •  

 

A disaster is waiting for us because there are a lot of factors that affect the development of this disease. What we should worry about the most is prevention. The people are caring less and less about it. They consume alcohol, they smoke, there are a lot of obese people... Of course, there are a lot of things that can't be avoided, like bacteria, viruses, and climate changes, and the program for early prevention is not conducted in a way we would want. So we can say that there are multiple factors that affect the increase in cancer numbers in the world.

  • The news is constantly coming from the world that the cure for cancer has been found. How far are we from that?
  •  

 

Actually, not so far. We know with certainty that 100% recovery occurs when the disease is diagnosed at an early stage. In advanced stages, we can only turn it into a chronic disease. We want the disease to behave like other chronic non-infectious diseases like diabetes and hypertension, and that a person lives with it. It can prolong survival and increase the quality of life.

  • You said that we are now in the "Sniper era" in which target therapy is used. What exactly does it mean?
  •  

 

- I am one of those who thinks that immunology is the right solution for blocking tumor growth and development, but in fact, the right combination of different drugs can lead to different aspects of the tumor being blocked and stopped. I am an oncologist, and I think that surgery, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, radiotherapy are also very important for the treatment. However, I think that if cancer appears by thicking the immune system and continues to develop, we should aim there to stop the development of cancer. In this regard, although I work at an international clinic where I treat people as an oncologist, I am very attached to my research work at the Center for Molecular Immunology.

  • How much can depleted uranium effect the cancer growth, which was used to bomb Serbia?
  •  

 

- All of these factors from the environment, such as biological and chemical, influence genetic mutations that affect the production of cancer. Taking that into consideration we can say that some of those factors influenced the places where people are getting sick from cancer at a higher rate.

  • Your lecture was visited by a large number of patients from Serbia, and they all presented you with their problems. Do you have the situations like that in Cuba?
  •  

 

- First of all, Serbs are beautiful and wonderful people. Yes, we have a lot of patients in Cuba as well due to a high rate of sickness and mortality. We became their family in a way because we are dedicated to the same fight. And there are a lot of them really.

  • What are diseases Serbs ask for help the most in Cuba?
  •  

 

- The most of the patients from Serbia are oncological patients that come for therapy that is specific and because they don't have any serious side effects and they are not difficult for them. However, we didn't have many patients from Serbia. We think that it's not generally known that they can come to our clinics to ask for help. We would love to have much more because we would like to help as many people as possible. We are surprised by everything we heard here about Cuban medicine about lung cancer, and besides "cimavax" vaccine we have other therapies for different types of cancer.
