What are Some Recent Advances in Basic Cancer Research?
Recent advances in basic cancer research have been transformative. The advent of genomics and other high-throughput technologies has allowed for large-scale studies of genetic mutations and alterations across different types of cancers. These technologies have led to the discovery of numerous new genetic alterations and pathways involved in cancer. Additionally, advances in immunology have paved the way for the development of immunotherapies, which harness the body's immune system to fight cancer.
