Cancer Research

Cancer research refers to the scientific investigation and study of cancer, its causes, mechanisms, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. This field encompasses a wide range of disciplines, including molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, biophysics, epidemiology, and clinical studies, aiming to improve the understanding of cancer biology and develop effective therapies and interventions. Researchers in this area examine how cancer cells grow, spread, and evade the immune system, as well as identifying risk factors and genetic predispositions. The ultimate goal of cancer research is to translate findings into improved patient outcomes, increasing survival rates, and enhancing the quality of life for those affected by cancer. It involves both laboratory-based research and clinical trials, integrating new technologies and methodologies to advance the fight against various forms of cancer.
