Laboratory Research In the lab, researchers study the biological mechanisms of cancer cells, including their growth, division, and spread. This involves cell culture, animal models, and advanced technologies like CRISPR for gene editing.
Clinical Trials Clinical trials are essential for translating laboratory findings into treatments. These trials are conducted in phases to evaluate the safety and efficacy of new drugs or therapies in humans. They provide critical data that can lead to the approval of new treatments.
Population Studies Epidemiologists study cancer patterns in populations to identify risk factors and protective factors. This research can lead to better prevention strategies and public health policies aimed at reducing cancer incidence.
