What Are the Challenges in Accelerating Cancer Research?
Despite significant progress, several challenges remain:
Complexity of Cancer: Cancer is not a single disease but a collection of related diseases with diverse genetic and environmental causes. Funding: Sustained financial support is necessary for long-term research projects, yet funding can be unpredictable. Regulatory Hurdles: Ensuring the safety and efficacy of new treatments involves rigorous testing and approval processes, which can delay progress. Data Management: The sheer volume of data generated by modern research requires sophisticated systems for storage, analysis, and sharing.
