Cabanga ukuthi wena nomngane wakho omkhulu nobabili ninesifo esifanayo, isibonelo, umfutho wegazi ophakeme. Uma nobabili niya kudokotela, nobabili ninikeza uhlobo olufanayo lomuthi. Kodwa into exakile ukuthi, umfutho wegazi womngane wakho ulawulwa kahle ngalowo muthi ngaphandle kwemiphumela emibi. Kodwa uma uthatha lowo muthi, uba nesiyezi, noma uthola omunye umphumela omubi, futhi umfutho wegazi wakho awulawulwa kahle. Kungani kunjalo? Ngisho noma singabantu ababili, imizimba yethu ihlukile kakhulu ngaphakathi, akunjalo? Lo mqondo wezokwelapha wakamuva esikhuluma ngawo namuhla, obizwa ngokuthi i-Precision Medicine, uvela njengesixazululo saleyo nkinga.
Kalula nje, iyini i-Precision Medicine?
I-Precision Medicine ingahunyushwa ngesiSinhala ngokuthi "i-precision medicine". Kodwa kubaluleke kakhulu ukuqonda umqondo kunegama.
Ake siqale ngesibonelo esilula. Cabanga uya esitolo uyothenga ihembe. Kunamahembe amaningi anosayizi ofanayo, "Amancane", "Aphakathi", "Amakhulu". Uthatha "Aphakathi" bese uyazama. Angase abe makhulu kakhulu, noma abe makhulu kancane, noma imikhono ingaba mide kakhulu. Kodwa awunakukhetha, ngakho uyalithenga. Lena yindlela yendabuko "efanele wonke umuntu".
Manje ake ucabange ukuthi uya kumthungi omuhle. Uthatha zonke izilinganiso zakho, njengokuphakama kwakho, isisindo, ubude bengalo, kanye nobubanzi behlombe lakho, bese ekuthunga ihembe elikufanele ngqo. Lizofanelana kahle kangakanani nomzimba wakho? Yilokho okushiwo yi-Precision Medicine.
I-Precision Medicine imayelana nokukhetha izindlela zokwelapha ezifanele nezisebenzayo kakhulu zokuvikela ezifweni, kunokunikeza wonke umuntu umuthi noma ukwelashwa okufanayo. Isebenzisa ulwazi mayelana nezakhi zofuzo zakho, indawo ohlala kuyo, kanye nendlela yakho yokuphila ukukusiza ukhethe izindlela zokwelapha ezifanele nezisebenzayo kakhulu zokuvikela ezifweni.
Kukhona elinye igama lalokhu, elithi "Imithi Eqondene Nomuntu Siqu." Kodwa igama elithi Precision Medicine selisetshenziswa ngokunembe kakhulu manje.
Lokhu kuhluke kanjani endleleni yendabuko?
Ake senze ukuqhathanisa okuncane ukuze siqonde ngokucacile umehluko phakathi kwalezi zindlela ezimbili.
| Isici | Imithi yendabuko (Efana Nosayizi Owodwa) | Umuthi Wokucacisa |
|---|---|---|
| Ukukhetha ukwelashwa | Ukwelashwa kuvame ukunqunywa ngokusekelwe kulokho okufanele "kumuntu ojwayelekile." | Ukwelashwa okufanele kakhulu kukhethwa ngokusekelwe ku-genes yomuntu, indawo ahlala kuyo, kanye nendlela yakhe yokuphila. |
| Ukukhiqiza | Kusebenza kahle kwabanye abantu, kodwa hhayi kahle kwabanye. | Uma abantu abaningi, kulapho amathuba okuthola imiphumela engcono khona maningi. |
| Okuqhamuka uma udla imishanguzo | Uma uzama umuthi bese uhlangabezana nemiphumela emibi, kufanele ushintshele komunye umuthi. | Ungakhetha imithi enemiphumela emibi embalwa kusenesikhathi. |
| Ukuvimbela izifo | Iseluleko esijwayelekile (isib. ukuzivocavoca umzimba, ukunciphisa ukudla okunamafutha) sinikezwa wonke umuntu. | Ukwazi kusengaphambili ukuthi yiziphi izifo ongase uzithole ngokusekelwe ezizakhini zakho zofuzo kungakunikeza iseluleko esiqondile sokuzivimbela. |
Yiziphi izinzuzo esizitholayo ku-Precision Medicine?
Le ndlela yesimanje ihloselwe ukuguqula ezokwelapha. Nazi ezinye zezinzuzo eziyinhloko ezizoletha :
- Umuthi ofanele wena, ngesilinganiso esifanele: Esebenzisa ulwazi lwakho lwezakhi zofuzo, udokotela wakho anganquma ukuthi yimuphi umuthi ozokusebenzela kahle, ngemiphumela emibi embalwa kakhulu, kanye nesilinganiso esifanele sokuwunikeza.
- Ukuqonda okujulile ukuthi kungani izifo zikhula: Kungani ezinye izifo zidluliselwa kusuka esizukulwaneni kuya kwesinye? Kungani abanye abantu kuphela abathola umdlavuza? Ulwazi lwezakhi zofuzo luwusizo kakhulu ekutholeni izimpendulo zemibuzo efana nale.
- Ukuvimbela ukugula ngaphambi kokuba kwenzeke:Uma ukuhlolwa kwakho kwezakhi zofuzo kungabikezela ukuthi usengozini enkulu yokuba nesifo sikashukela, isifo senhliziyo, noma uhlobo oluthile lomdlavuza esikhathini esizayo, kungakanani okufanele ukushintshe indlela yakho yokuphila ukuze uvimbele lokhu? I-Precision Medicine iyindlela okufanele uhambe ngayo.
- Ukuxilongwa okunembe kakhudlwana: Ngezinye izikhathi, noma izimpawu zingase zifane, kungase kube nezifo ezimbili ezihluke ngokuphelele ngaphakathi. Uma kuhlolwa ezingeni lezakhi zofuzo, kungenzeka ukuthola isifo esiqondile.
Yimiphi imikhakha esevele isebenzisa i-Precision Medicine?
Lokhu akuyona nje into ezokwenzeka esikhathini esizayo. Odokotela emazweni athuthukile emhlabeni wonke sebevele beyisebenzisa ngempumelelo le ndlela emikhakheni eminingana. Ake sibheke eminye yemikhulu.
1. Ukwelashwa Komdlavuza (i-Precision Oncology)
Lolu uhlelo lokusebenza olukhulu noluphumelele kakhulu lwe-Precision Medicine kuze kube manje. Esikhathini esidlule, besivame ukuhlukanisa umdlavuza ngokusekelwe lapho uvela khona. Isibonelo, "umdlavuza wamaphaphu" noma "umdlavuza webele."
Kodwa manje ososayensi bathole ukuthi ngisho nomdlavuza okhula endaweni efanayo ungaba neminwe ehlukene yama-molecule . Njengeminwe yethu. Lokho kusho ukuthi abantu ababili abanomdlavuza wamaphaphu bangaba nezinguquko zofuzo ezihlukene (ukuguqulwa kwezakhi zofuzo) emangqamuzaneni abo omdlavuza.
Ngakho-ke, ku-Precision Oncology, kuthathwa isampula encane yesimila sesiguli (i-biopsy), bese kuhlolwa izinguquko zofuzo. Ngemuva kwalokho, isiguli sinikezwa umuthi (ukwelashwa okuqondiwe) ohlasela kuphela lolo shintsho oluthile lofuzo .
Cabanga ngeqembu lamasela lingena edolobheni. Indlela yendabuko iwukubeka wonke umuzi ngaphansi komthetho we-curfew bese uhlola yonke indlu. Lokhu kuthinta nabantu abangenacala. I-Precision Medicine ifana nokusebenzisa i-CCTV ukuthola ukuthi amasela acashe kuyiphi indlu bese eya kuleyo ndlu bese ebamba amasela. Lokhu kubangela umonakalo omncane kakhulu kumaseli aphilile.
2. Ukwelashwa Ngezifo Zomdlavuza
Lesi esinye isinyathelo esimangalisayo sokuqhubekela phambili ekwelapheni umdlavuza. Imizimba yethu inebutho elilwa nezifo. Silibiza ngokuthi amasosha omzimba . Leli butho lingabona futhi libhubhise amangqamuzana angajwayelekile, okungukuthi, amangqamuzana omdlavuza, akhula emizimbeni yethu.
Kodwa amanye amangqamuzana omdlavuza ahlakaniphile kakhulu. Afihliwe kahle, afihleka ohlelweni lwethu lokuzivikela.
I-immunotherapy isebenza ngokuqeqesha amasosha ethu omzimba ukuze aqaphele futhi ahlasele la maseli omdlavuza afihliwe. Kufana nokunikeza amasosha ethu uhlelo olusha lwe-radar olungakwazi ukubona izitha ezifihliwe. Lokhu kuye kwasenza sakwazi ukusebenzisa izivikelo zomzimba wethu ukulawula noma ngisho nokwelapha umdlavuza.
3. I-Pharmacogenomics
Nakuba leli gama lingase libonakale linzima kancane, umqondo ulula kakhulu.
Ikhemisi = umuthi (umuthi)
I-Genomics = I-Genetics
Lokho kusho ukutadisha indlela izakhi zofuzo zakho ezisabela ngayo emithini oyiphuzayo.
Sonke sinezakhi zofuzo ezihlukile kancane, ngakho-ke umuthi ofanayo uzosebenza ngendlela ehlukile emizimbeni yethu.
- Imizimba yabanye abantu iyawohloka futhi ikhiphe umuthi ngokushesha okukhulu. Kubo, umthamo ojwayelekile ungase unganele.
- Imizimba yabanye abantu iyawuphula kancane umuthi. Kubo, ngisho nomthamo ojwayelekile ungaba yingozi.
I-Pharmacogenomics ihilela ukuthatha inani elincane lolwazi lwakho lwezakhi zofuzo ngokuhlolwa kwegazi okulula ngaphambi kokukunikeza umuthi, nokubona ukuthi umzimba wakho uzosabela kanjani kulowo muthi kusenesikhathi. Lokhu kuvumela udokotela wakho ukuthi anqume umuthi ofanele kakhulu kanye nomthamo wakho. Lokhu kungasiza ekugwemeni imiphumela emibi engafuneki kanye nokwelashwa okungasebenzi kahle.
4. Izifo Ezingavamile
Kunezifo zofuzo ezingavamile kakhulu nezingavamile emhlabeni. Ngezinye izikhathi ngisho nodokotela abakwazi ukuhlonza imbangela eqondile yalesi sifo. Kunemindeni ehlushwa yilesi sifo ngemva kokuya ezibhedlela iminyaka eminingi futhi ihlolwe ngezindlela ezahlukene, kodwa ayikwazi ukuthola ukuthi siyini lesi sifo.
I-Precision Medicine ilethe ithemba elikhulu kubantu abanjengalaba. Manje sekungenzeka ukuhlola yonke i-genetic makeup yesiguli (Genomic Sequencing) bese uthola "iphutha lezinhlamvu" elincane kakhulu (ukuguqulwa kwezakhi zofuzo) kulolo chungechunge lwe-DNA. Lelo phutha elincane liyimbangela yesifo sonke. Lapho imbangela eqondile yesifo itholakala, kuba lula ngabacwaningi ukuthola ikhambi laso.
I-Precision Medicine izoyishintsha kanjani impilo yethu esikhathini esizayo?
Lobu buchwepheshe busesebusha, kodwa amandla abo makhulu kakhulu. Esikhathini esizayo, uma uya kudokotela, uzoba nolwazi lwakho lwezakhi zofuzo kanye nemiphumela yakho ejwayelekile yokuhlolwa kwegazi.
- Ngaphambi kokukunikeza umuthi, udokotela ubheka umbiko bese enquma, "O... kungenzeka ukuthi une-allergy kulo muthi, ngakho-ke sizomnika wona."
- Uma unesifo esingenaye umuntu emndenini wakho, ungathola ukuthi imbangela iyithonya lemvelo, iphutha endleleni yakho yokuphila, noma ushintsho olusha lwezakhi zofuzo.
- Sonke sizokwazi ukudala uhlelo lwezempilo oluqondene nathi ngqo.
Lokhu akuseyona inganekwane yesayensi. Leli yikusasa lezokwelapha. Kuzothatha isikhathi ukuthi lobu buchwepheshe bufike eSri Lanka futhi bube yinto evamile. Kodwa kakade, izindlela zokwelapha eziqondiwe njengalezi zisetshenziswa ngezinga elithile kwabanye abaguli abanomdlavuza ezweni lethu. Ngakho-ke, kubaluleke kakhulu ukuqaphela lokhu.
Umlayezo Wokuya Nawe Ekhaya
- Umuthi WokucacisaLuhlelo lwezokwelapha lwesimanje olugwema indlela eyodwa efanela wonke umuntu kodwa esikhundleni salokho lukhetha ukwelashwa okufanele umuntu ngamunye.
- Ngenxa yalokhu, zonke izici ezintathu ziyacatshangelwa: izakhi zofuzo zakho, indawo ezungezile, kanye nendlela yokuphila .
- Le ndlela isivele isetshenziswa ngempumelelo ku-oncology , ekwelapheni amasosha omzimba , kanye nasekuxilongweni kwezifo ezingavamile .
- Ngomkhakha obizwa ngokuthi i-pharmacogenomics , le ndlela isiza ekuhlinzekeni umthamo ofanele wemithi ofanelana nezakhi zofuzo zakho futhi onemiphumela emibi emincane kakhulu.
- Nakuba lokhu kuseyinsimu ethuthukayo, kunamandla okuguqula ezokwelapha maduze nje. Ngolunye usuku, ukwelashwa kuzoba okusebenzayo kakhudlwana, okuphephile, futhi okuqondene nomuntu ngamunye.
