Russian
President Vladimir Putin, recently while speaking in a Moscow function,
announced that his country was waiting for the launch of cancer vaccines.
Putin, globally condemned for invasion on Ukraine resulting many casualties and
enormous property damages, announced that significant progress has been made by
the Russian scientific fraternity to develop the important vaccines. The
hardliner Russian leader expressed optimism that they have almost reached a
significant phase for developing cancer vaccines and immunomodulatory drugs. He
also hoped that these advancements will transition the way to approach the
health disaster, but Putin did not reveal any specific information about the
type of cancer vaccines, he mentioned.

Needless to
say, many countries across the globe, including Bharat, have been working to
find the effective cancer medicine and also vaccines for decades. World Health
Organization (WHO) in its report confirmed the availability of at least six
licensed vaccines targeting human papillomaviruses (HPV, that causes cervical
cancer) and hepatitis B (that may lead to liver cancer). Incidentally cervical
cancer is the fifth most common cancer in the world, where as it’s ranked as
the most frequent cancer among Indian women.
To fight against this type of cancer, Indian scientists had launched
Cervavac as a preventive measure to save many lives. The vaccine is developed
indigenously after rigorous research, clinical trials and necessary regulatory
approvals. The central government also committed its support for the cervical
cancer vaccination process.
Cancer is
almost a curse in our society. Numerous Assamese plays, cinemas, stories and
media articles have depicted the cancer as the other name of deaths. So if any
individual is diagnosed with cancer, irrespective of its stages, the family
instantly presume a dark future for the patient. But the doctors always
encourage the patients to face the disease bravely. They argue that with early
detection and proper treatment, cancer can be cured if the patient adopts
medication regularly with a positive mind enriched by physical activities.
India
continues to increase the number of cancer affected families. Now the projected number of cancer cases in
India is estimated to be 15.7 lakh by next year. Northeast is also not legging behind;
our region also increases cancer cases every year and by 2025 it may witness another
57,131 new cases. Indian Council of Medical Research reported that our region
faces a high burden of cancer compared to other parts of the country. The
highest cancer incidence rate among the males was recorded in Aizawl and among
females in Papumpare. The
tobacco-related cancer cases remain higher in the region. Any comprehensive
vaccine for cancer will be a priceless gift for 60 million people living in the
region, adjacent to Nepal, Bhutan, Tibet, Myanmar and Bangladesh.
Often
cancer is also termed as a huge global scam as many believe that the scientists
have the capability to develop a comprehensive cancer vaccine, but they are
being prevented by the beneficiaries of the scam including the pharmaceutical
companies, private hospitals, concerned doctors and others. Once the
vaccination process becomes feasible and effective, those beneficiaries would
lose their business empire accounting a huge sum of money.
Now Putin,
who has already earned the name & fame as an autocratic and arrogant
leader, has declared the invention of cancer vaccine by the Russian scientists,
it may change the entire global healthcare scenario. Like many other
politicians in power, Putin may not bother about the complications he would
face after the invention and marketing of cancer vaccines.
Putin now
desperately wants to improve his image from a villain to a humanitarian
crusader. If at all the Russian cancer vaccine comes out as a reality, he will
be the beneficiary number one in the process. Nonetheless, an inclusive cancer
vaccine should emerge out of all difficulties and complexities so that human
sufferings from the disease can be minimised if not completely removed.
