Graves Disease (New Treatments For Graves)

Graves Disease is an autoimmune disease for which treatment remains less than perfect. Patients with Graves Disease often have to undergo difficult treatment regimens to control their disease. In other cased they are compelled to take medication for the duration of their lives. But recent advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology of Graves Disease have made it possible to follow new therapeutic paths in the quest to develop more effective and convenient modalities of treatment. New biotechnology and biochemical procedures have broadened the scope of possibilities for the development of novel therapeutic interventions in Graves Disease. Many of these new techniques have already been tried in studies in patients with Graves Disease and have shown strongly positive results. As things stand, scientists are on the cusp of a major breakthrough in the treatment of Graves Disease. These new therapies will be more specific and will more precisely address the underlying causes of Graves Disease. These are exciting times for patients with Graves Disease because the new therapeutic interventions are likely to be far more effective and may even effect permanent cures without the inconvenience of surgery or radioactive medications.
