LIST OF CURRENTLY INCURABLE DISEASES
Keywords:
Kеywоrds: incurable diseases, chronic disease, neurodegenerative disorders, HIV, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease.Abstract
Abstract. This article examines the category of currently incurable diseases
through a clinically serious and analytically cautious lens. In medical usage, an
incurable disease is not a condition for which nothing can be done; rather, it is a
condition for which no definitive curative therapy has yet been established, even
though symptom control, slowing of progression, life prolongation, and quality-of-life
improvement may all be possible. The article focuses on six major examples that are
widely recognized by authoritative health institutions as lacking a current cure: HIV
infection, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease,
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and type 1 diabetes.
