Cancer Research

Cancer research refers to the scientific study aimed at understanding cancer, its causes, development, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and potential cures. This field encompasses various disciplines, including biology, genetics, chemistry, and medicine. Researchers investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie cancer progression, explore the genetic mutations that may lead to cancer, and evaluate the efficacy and safety of new treatments, such as chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, and targeted therapies. Cancer research can be basic, focusing on the fundamental aspects of cancer biology, or applied, leading to the development of new clinical strategies and interventions. The ultimate goal of cancer research is to improve survival rates and the quality of life for cancer patients through innovative discoveries and advancements in treatment approaches.
