The Enterprise has an elaborate Sick Bay, well equipped with diagnostic and curative equipment. Dr. McCoy and his colleagues are busy repairing traumatic injuries and diagnosing weird diseases of extraterrestrial origin, but I do not remember any mention of the killers of today (e.g., cancer, Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, heart disease).



In general, there is very little discussion (that I remember) of advances in medical technology, except for Dr. McCoy's horror that doctors in the 20th century actually cut people open. (And of course the diagnostic salt shakers.)
