A cure for cancer<\/u> could be on the horizon in the next decade, according to experts.<\/p>

During the WSJ Leadership Institute CEO Summit in London last week, Johnson & Johnson Chairman and CEO Joaquin Duato reflected on the pharmaceutical company\u2019s projections on the future of cancer treatment.<\/p>

In the next 10 years, the goal is to “try to eliminate cancer,” Duato shared.<\/p>

“That\u2019s a high goal, and we are already making significant progress in certain cancers<\/u>,” he said.<\/p>

Duato used multiple myeloma as an example, noting that the life expectancy is currently 10 years, when it was previously “only single years.”<\/p>

“We have treatments now that utilize your own immune system to attack the cancer<\/u>,” he said at the summit. “For patients who were already going into hospice, so they didn\u2019t have any other alternative, they are [at] more than five years, with a single administration, in remission. That [is] spectacular.”<\/p>

“When patients see that, they cannot believe that because they have been coming to the hospital every week [for] a decade, having multiple therapies.”<\/p>

According to Duato, Johnson & Johnson is working to understand the biology of cancer growth<\/u> and to formulate new technologies to address it.<\/p>

“It\u2019s realistic to believe that we are going to cure certain cancers, and some others we\u2019re going to turn into chronic diseases,” he predicted.<\/p>

“Cancer is an important thing \u2013 I cannot think about anybody who has not been touched by cancer,” he went on. “But there are many other opportunities for us to actually advance science<\/u>, to address very important social problems.”<\/p>

Duato called out dementia as another “important problem” in need of a solution.<\/p>

He predicted that life expectancy, which has risen steadily<\/u> over the past century, will continue to increase as longevity technologies and solutions advance, improving quality of life along the way.<\/p>

Duato commented that J&J has been optimistic about the role artificial intelligence will play in the future of healthcare, calling it a “force multiplier.”<\/p>

Fox News senior medical analyst Dr. Marc Siegel agreed with Duato’s outlook on the future of cancer care, noting that certain cancers will turn into chronic diseases<\/u> while others will find outright cures.<\/p>

“Advances [will be] based on the use of AI to help guide targeted treatments with expanding knowledge of cancer mutations and how to target them,” he predicted, speaking to Fox News Digital.<\/p>

Siegel added that biomarkers and AI can help with earlier diagnoses, as well as a more advanced and personalized approach to surgery<\/u>.<\/p>

J&J recently acquired Firefly Bio, a biotech firm that produces drugs that enter cancer cells to “target certain proteins that contain difficult to treat gene mutations,” the doctor added.<\/p>
