Cancer Research

Cancer research refers to the scientific investigation and study of cancer, its causes, mechanisms, development, and treatment. This multidisciplinary field encompasses various aspects, including molecular and cellular biology, genetics, epidemiology, pharmacology, and clinical trials. The primary goal of cancer research is to understand how cancer begins and progresses, to identify risk factors, and to develop effective diagnostic methods, therapies, and preventive measures. Researchers work to improve treatment outcomes, reduce cancer incidence, and ultimately find cures for different types of cancer. Efforts in cancer research include studying cancer biology, exploring potential drug targets, testing new treatments in laboratories and clinical settings, and understanding the social and psychological aspects of the disease. The findings from cancer research have led to advancements in treatment techniques, such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and personalized medicine, significantly impacting patient care and survival rates.
