In the last decade and especially in recent years, there has been significant progress in the research and development of new drugs, especially the biological drugs.
The treatment methods and guidelines have been updated accordingly and quite a few diseases that until recently were incurable – are today becoming chronic diseases that can be continued to live with for many years with a good quality of life.
