Cancer Research

Cancer research refers to the scientific study of cancer in order to understand its causes, development, and mechanisms, as well as to develop effective prevention, diagnosis, and treatment strategies for the disease. This field encompasses a wide range of activities, including laboratory experiments, clinical trials, epidemiological studies, and investigations into the genetic and environmental factors that contribute to cancer. Researchers aim to uncover the biological processes that lead to cancer cell growth and metastasis, identify potential targets for therapy, and innovate new medications and treatment approaches, such as immunotherapy and personalized medicine. The overarching goal of cancer research is to improve patient outcomes and decrease the burden of cancer on individuals and society as a whole.
