Cancer Research

Cancer research refers to the scientific study and investigation of the causes, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. It encompasses a broad range of activities aimed at understanding the biology of cancer cells, identifying risk factors, exploring new therapeutic strategies, and improving patient care and outcomes. This field of research includes basic laboratory studies, clinical trials, epidemiological studies, and translational research that seeks to apply laboratory findings to real-world medical practices. Researchers work to uncover the complex mechanisms behind cancer development and progression, including genetic mutations, cellular signaling pathways, and interactions with the immune system. The ultimate goal of cancer research is to develop effective methods for detecting cancer early, treating different types of cancer more successfully, and ultimately finding cures to eliminate cancer as a major health threat.
